Could be a conversation starter, especially if the interviewer has DC-3 time in their past. I wouldn't try to hang my hat on it, though.

Yeah, I got a chance to fly with some cargo guys on a couple of trips and I acted as their autopilot once they got to altitude for a couple of hours. Im definitely not using it as a crutch to get a job faster, just was wondering if it would throw up a flag for a interviewer.

Yeah, conversation starter only. You're actually lucky it was all dual, if you showed up with an hour or two of logged SIC, you might have to draw the electrical system
