I recently completed online apps at several majors and have a few questions:
1. I have heard that most airlines have some kind of conversion factor for military flight time to account for the T/O to land method of logging mil time. However, there was nothing on any of the application pages explaining this. I entered all times straight out of my logbook on the assumption that they would apply their appropriate conversion, but I've heard that SWA applies its correction based on sorties and there was no place to list them. Do they expect you to apply the correction factor they authorize, and if so, where in writing can I find this?
2. This is specific to SWA, but I couldn't immediately translate their aircrew titles to my experience and I was wondering what I should use. E.g., the ones that could all possibly apply to me as a EA-6B Prowler NATOPS instructor and FRS Instructor Pilot are; "Aircraft commander/captain, Check Airman, Evaluator pilot, Instructor pilot, and NATOPS pilot." Which is the most accurate, while looking best on the application?
