On Airlineapps.com, I filled out a profile that goes to any airline that you choose to add. They didn't seem to be very interested in sim time, HOWEVER, its not all bad time. Someone else may have better information.

If we all go to Simuflite to get recurrent, and the sims are as close as you can get to the real thing, I can't see that they wouldn't let you add that time to your total time (now that I think about it) I only had "non motion" sim time. Ask around, I wouldn't want to lead you down the wrong road.

I am mostly doing it for the awesome CRM training and making new connections and friends. (It's all about who you know)

Yah its some great experience met a guy that was part of the right seat program and he flew a Falcon 900 and did the program on the side and he got offered a Job after a sim session with a chief pilot of a different flight department and told him he would pay him more than whatever he was making right now. Great connections and a free sic type just wandering if it is worth my time to stop what I am doing now and going back to instructing so I will be one place and be able to do the program. But if most corporate gigs won't look at you till 2500 total it will make the decision harder because it would take a while to get that instructing if they won't count the sim time.

Are you the guy I was talking to about aerial survey? Isn't that what you are doing? I think I was asking you about getting into that.

There are places that will look at you with 1500 hours or so, espically if you have your ATP. If you are buildiing multi time, it may be a good place to stay for a while. I went from instructing to flying a Baron for a charter company, and built time that way. It all depends on what direction you want to go...
