Back in the day...
When I flew Hueys for the Army Guard, I had a friend of mine who was applying with several regional air carriers. Mind you, this guy had a couple thousand hours in UH-60 Black Hawks (22,500 lb twin-turbine helo, full IFR cockpit) and UH-1 Hueys, as well as a couple hundred hours in the C-12F (King Air 200).
I remember him showing me one that had a block for "Other" flying time....it looked like this:
OTHER (BALLOON/GLIDER/HELICOPTER):
Pretty sad when flying a 22,500 lb turbine helicopter that goes almost as fast as the King Air is grouped as time just as worthless as glider or balloon.
