Some airlines in Australia will recognise the time such as Qantas but not all will.
You log only time in seat.
For some extra context an FO would log P2 if they were Pm on that sector and P1 U/S if they were PF.
Hopefully that is helpful.
Hi, I just wanted a bit more clarification on this. So I believe the current promotion requirement for SO1 to SO2 is 2000 block hours, and SO2 to FO1 would be 3000 block hours for the 777 and Airbus guys. Does this block hour actually mean “block hours” instead of the time in seat? The time in seat is just for logging your flight log book, is that correct?
Then why would promotions take average 7 years from SO to FO like many others have complained? Is this hour requirement simply a bare minimum bar that doesn’t actually mean anything? How many block hours a typical SO would get annually assuming he’s flying a full roster?
Thank you, seems you really know this stuff.
