1000 TPIC (Mil guy question)
Hey folks,
Had a quick question. I'm a military guy transitioning (hopefully) to the airlines, and I have a question about the 1000 TPIC time on SWA portal.
I have 956 actual multi engine TPIC hours. I know that's under the 1000. But on SWA pilotcredentials, it does the 0.3 per sortie math and converts it for me. With SWA's own calculations, I'm at more like 1100 TPIC.
Should I answer "yes" to the question? I have a feeling answering "no" got me the TBNT last hiring window. Need some advice. I don't want to be untruthful but using SWA calculations, I do meet the criteria. I just don't want to get to the interview and have them question my integrity.

sortie factor is definitely considered, so if that pushes you over then say yes and be ready to show your math in the interview if it comes up.

I’m a mil guy with only V-22 and T-6 TPIC. My only turbine multi engine is about 100 hours in a King Air from flight school. SWA counts the Osprey hours as helicopter hours. Point being, I was hired with the minimums of 1000 FW Turbine and about 950 SE TPIC from the Texan. I got a firm “thanks but this is nasty rotor time” on all my Osprey (TPIC, SIC) time.

I would have no problem checking "yes" because with the conversion you do. If for whatever reason it comes up in the interview, just kindly explain that after the sortie correction that it put you over 1000. It's their conversion, not yours. I don't think it's a big deal.
