AirTran: I have seen both 1.2 x total flight time AND .3 per sortie reported
Looks like you can add it into your total time, but not in any PIC time. 300 hours from UPT?! I only had 206 hours...
Hacker,
Unless you are trying to pad your hours to get an ATP, I would not even bring a log book. Just bring your flight records and make sure it matches your resume'. That's what I did at FedEx and NWA for my interviews and they were fine with that. They undertand that a fighter guy will have less hours than a heavy guy. Don't know how they compare military time to civilian, but now we are getting into apples and oranges. The hardest part is getting the interview, make sure your application reflects what's on your flight records, doing the conversion just opens a can of worms in my opinion.
