FAR Part 121 Question
A lot of the on-line apps I've been filling out ask specifically if you have FAR Part 121 experience. As a C-5 and C-9 driver, I hate to answer "no" because I'm concerned that a "no" answer automatically excludes you from the list. Heavy drivers and cargo haulers, however, have been doing a job that is equivalent to FAR Part 121 ops.
What do y'all think? Do you think I should stick with "no" or switch to "yes" and just explain the equivalency idea if I were to get an interview?

Unless you are applying to a carrier that has never hired a military heavy pilot - I'd say you had better stick with the clear meaning of the application and not try to word yourself around it. I mean what reputable carrier do you know of that automatically excludes military heavy pilots?

Dude,
Read and heed. You can explain the mil time to the interviewer. But if you say no "I don't have actual 121 time", I'd expect the door behind you to open you be asked to leave. Where would you be applying that would care?
