61.56(d) allows a "pilot proficiency check for a certificate, rating, or operating privilege" to count as a BFR.
The question is what is exactly is an operating privilege? I think you're good, but you might want to call the FSDO and ask them. You don't want to go to an airline interview and not have a good answer if that comes up. "Well, I always assumed..."
I would have **assumed** that our (USN/USMC) annual NATOPS Evaluation (our emergencies simulator) and our annual NATOPS Instrument Evaluation (standard instrument checkride) would have sufficed for the BFR; but I am not smart on the requirements for a BFR in the first place so I'll be interested in hearing what the FSDO has to say about it.
