Is that an EP-3C avatar?

Sim time keeps you current, keeps your scan up and builds your confidence, but airlines don't consider that currency at all. You need a real flying job, preferably in turbine equipment, to show that you're current. If that's all you have staring you in the face at seperation, however, you gotta do what you gotta do. MUCH better than a non-aviation job.

Best of luck...did you ever run into Frank Young?
