Possibly, but it is the most conservative option. That's what I did.

I can't fathom a scenario where an airline would criticize you for doing that.

Don’t get caught quibbling or lying about hours. The CA in the interview may have been military or they may know the definitions. Other time is not suppose to be used in your calculations. If you are an instructor always log instructor time instead of other. If you are so close to the hours requirement that you need to use other time you are probably less competitive. But honesty is always the best policy.

Does anyone know approximately how many folks are in the pool? How long between invite and interview date? Thx

This worked for me as well.

Are you saying that you logged PIC time when you somehow had an A-code and logged Other time?

If so, I would highly recommend not doing this, as it is totally dishonest. If you are not in the seat (ie you're logging Other time) then someone with a J code (in command during certain periods) is the PIC, not you. Put another way, if you fly a two-seat airplane, and both seats are occupied, one of those two pilots is the PIC, not someone logging Other time.

Delta interviews
 

Yeah that's not how it works in AMC
I've never once seen anyone J coded.

To reiterate tunes’s post, this is not correct information for AMC crews. There was only one A code per order, and that pilot was on the hook for everything, so nothing dishonest about logging PIC for every minute of flight time when you were the A code, whether you were the PF or in the bunk.

Huh...we did it numerous times in the strat air world...especially on long trips or exercises. Allowed currency and experience to be spread around rather than having the "A" code in the seat for every takeoff and landing. Orders simply had an annotation that designated on which legs the "J" code pilot would be in command.

Except pic requirement is sole manipulator of flight controls according to the FAA I.e you can’t be in a bunk

On the C5 we sent crews on the road with 1 A code. Often 1 Aircraft Commander and 2 First Pilots for 24 hour duty days.


so 121 RJ guys can log PIC on legs they fly? Or ACMI guys when the Captain was in the bunk?For a major airline interview I don't think so.


Not only that, the FAA and DL have different requirements for what they call PIC in terms of what they are looking for.
