After talking with some of my reserve friends....

If the company you are applying to allows a conversion and you need it to meet the mins, then use it. If you are good as is, then don't use it. Be prepared to defend your use of the conversion in the interview...and if it comes up, point out you didn't use it.


I haven't heard of a hard conversion rule but IMO, the airlines are familiar with our training and what it takes to meet certain gates and get certain quals. The same can't be said for the civilian side (no flame intended). With that being said, be ready to learn how they want you to fly. You are trainable. You have proven that with us so make sure they see that in you.
