3. If you you did not log PC,SP,IP,IE,MP on the -12, do not put it down as anything other than SIC time in your civilian logbook. To the majors, PIC time is ONLY for when you signed for the aircraft and they do not count sole-manipulator or safety pilot time as PIC.

4. If you had checkride failures for anything, list them in your app (each airline is specific on if they want pilot training stage check failures or not). It will not stop you from getting a call and it won't stop you from getting hired ( 3 check ride failures {2mil, 1civ} and sitting at a major).

No military does not have PRIA but, given that some majors will want to see your military records, you would not want to show up to the interview and have them see it in your records.

Also, TRUE STORY, a guy I worked with got an interview at his dream job (DELTA) and did not get the job because he did not list a military check ride failure and the Captain who ended up interviewing him was the one who busted him on the ride (awkward!). This was an extremely unusual case but strange stuff happens and its a small world. Dudes have been removed from indoc classes for lying during interviews and false info on apps that was later found out.

5. United takes a snap shot of your app when you get the invite. Again, dudes have been uninvited because they "revised" their app after getting the invite to include negative information. The assumption is/will be made that you did not disclose the information in order to "improve" your app.
Thanks... great info. The only failure I have is one stage check in college (part 141) flight program before the Army. It wasn’t a check ride, it was a pre-long XC stage check. I picked really poor visual landmarks and couldn’t identify when I was at my waypoint. Not sure that is needed at the airline or not. But that’s my only failure.

My PIC time is calculated correctly, the only thing that is not exactly as shown on MIL records is my XC time - because it’s not tracked. I took advice from others and made a reasonable determination on what is XC. It’s pretty conservative.

Thanks again for the info.

If you don’t have your DD214 yet, no sweat. That’s easily explained with transition leave. DA759 can be explained to the board. I’m a retired UC-35 SP (Dobbins Schoolhouse) and I kept a logbook as well. I showed both during my interviews at US Air, jBlue and UAL. They looked at my logbooks and 759 (not sure they understood the 759 except totals). I took the UAL job and love it.
