Ya'll hit the nail on the head. If there's no time to log then that's the answer I was after. I've heard rumors that guys could log IFR time but Hacker clarified it, can't log IFR time without the type rating or form 8 equivalent.
'Preciate it.
If the end game is to end up at the airlines; can F-15 WSOs log their backseat time to add to their total time? What is needed prior to officially logging that precious (PIC) time?
The F-15 is the only jet that affords CSOs actual "stick time" right?
Disheartening indeed...what gets me is I'd give a nut...yup my ability to reproduce to be a pilot but nothing short of me telling the board president that to their face can capture that in the current application format...
My boss early in the process asked the guy running the board and he said 60. But this was before the Nov deadline. Think the direction from above changed a little since then.
