Thanks, guys, that's all been helpful. One thing I'm a little confused on though... As an MC, I may not alway be carrying the A code for a flight. So, is my primary time as an MC, if I'm sitting the right seat still count as PIC time to the airlines?

I upgraded to the left seat a little over a year and a half ago, and flight time at our unit isn't too hard to come by, but most operational missions come in at under 3 hours. So total time and most importantly now, PIC time accumulation has been slow. I just started another year active tour and hope that in that time I'll accumulate enough left seat time, and possibly upgrade to insturctor, so that I'll be reasonably competetive for a few hiring airlines or cargo carriers.

Any thoughts? And thanks again.
