I don't think there is a way to know exactly. They play their cards pretty close to the vest over there in pilot selection. Even if you called someone who knew and asked directly, I doubt they would tell you.

I'm not saying its the right decision to include Other time, but I disagree with it being the civilian equivalent of dead legging. I would say its more like the civilian equivalent of IRO time at least in my community where augmented crews were common, but one guy kept the A-code the entire flight.
In the civilian world if a three man crew crosses the pond and the Captain takes a rest break in the bunk he still logs all PIC because he was the one who signed for the jet. The same thing happens in the Air Force and I can understand why someone with the A-code who is ultimately responsible for the flight should be able to log all of the time regardless of whether it was primary, secondary, or other time.

This is correct. Unless you annotate on the 781 that you are designating another pilot as Aircraft Commander on a leg, you are PIC for 100% of the flight time as it's listed. If you are the A Code, your Other time is PIC. Think of it this way, who's taking the blame if you are the AC in the bunk and the other two pilots have a GNE?

Even though many do interviews it does not mean they are on the selection team. It appears the selection team is a much smaller group than the interview team. Spoke to a guy who does interviews and he said he doesn't know how they rank the tiers because he has recommended some and he's not sure which ones his candidates are in. Again this gentleman was on the "interview team" not the "selection team".
Just like freezingflyboy said above, even if they knew they probably wouldn't tell you, but this guy I was talking to really seemed to not know.

I have never heard of anyone being told what tier they are in. The only way you know you are in "tier 1" is if they give the invite and it's just generally announced they are hiring from tier one. Even then that doesn't mean they may not randomly pull from tier 2 intermittently. No one really knows except the selection team.

You're right, there have been guys on this forum who claim to know what tier their application is in. I wonder if they met with the recruiter at a job fair, and the recruiter told them based on their resume which tier they would most likely fall into, and this has been misrepresented as being what tier they're actually in.

The instructions and email address are in there. It will actually go directly to Andy F. and not HR.
