Most of the majors I have looked at specifically say do not include other time. The regionals and fractionals I have looked at have not mentioned it but in the application ask for break-outs of PIC, SIC and student so it will be obvious if the total time is greater than the parts and generate questions. For what its worth I don't include it at all in my resumes and not in the applications unless there were a way that it would make sense. Remember that most of the majors let you add an adjustment figure such as .2 or .3 per sortie. This is where an electronic logbook that will do those adjustments in a report really pays off. I have also seen companies tell military pilots to just multiply their total time by 120%. Make sure you read the instructions. My philosophy is that its better to explain why your reported time is lower than the total in your USAF records than look like you are padding your times and bringing a possible integrity question up.
