I have 956 actual multi engine TPIC hours. I know that's under the 1000. But on SWA pilotcredentials, it does the 0.3 per sortie math and converts it for me. With SWA's own calculations, I'm at more like 1100 TPIC.
Should I answer "yes" to the question? I have a feeling answering "no" got me the TBNT last hiring window. Need some advice. I don't want to be untruthful but using SWA calculations, I do meet the criteria. I just don't want to get to the interview and have them question my integrity.
1000 TPIC is preferred, not required. We have hired some with 0. So that’s not likely what got you a TBNT.
sortie factor is definitely considered, so if that pushes you over then say yes and be ready to show your math in the interview if it comes up.
