Default Continental Military Flight Time Conversion Factor???

I've asked this before and didn't get a solid answer. Does anyone know what Continental uses for Military flight time conversion? I filled out their App online and can't quite figure out what they did...

-My PIC (PIC+Instructor) = 1001
-My PIC Sorties=395
-My Total Time=2030
On the completed app it calculates...
-PIC=1156
-Total Time=2186

There is a note that says *Not Included is Military Conversion Factors

It seems as though it is a conversion based on sorites... Any input would be appreciated...

According to a post on flightinfo.com, CAL's conversion is approx .3 per sortie. From the math on your numbers, it looks like it's just a bit more than that.

When in doubt call the source. Call pilot recruiting in Houston.

When you complete the Airlineapps.com application and review the application at the end, it will reflect adjusted times by adding approximately .3 hours per sortie. If you look at the "Flight Time Summary" section that has an asteric next to it below the "Flight Time by Conditions", you'll see it only applies it to your PIC, turbine and total time.
