[Low_Level_Hell]

It's suprising that no one has yet wrote anything against the idea counting RW time so heavily for flying a major carrier.

I'm glad its being recognized a valuable time, though the glass cockpit familiarity should be the least of the reasons why. My opinion may be heavily biased but military RW flying can be very demanding compared to flying a Dutchess or Seneca from point A to B. Granted helo guys don't get much instrument time but if you can fly something as squirelly as a helicopter in instrument conditions that says alot about your control touch.

Though I doubt I'd even get an interview with them, I'd go to JetBlue when I can get out in two years if the above qualifications are true. They pay much better than your typical regional carrier, which until a few months ago I didn't even think I was considered a qualified applicant. Besides unlike my current job, if I think I was being treated bad I could just walk away.
