Totally agree with Scroggs and the others who recommend not logging this time as 'flying'. Scroggs has many thousands of hours and I've got a few thousands too, coupled to these some 'few hundred' are in 'full monty' sims (yeah, naked, that's right!) I never considered loggong them as flying time and once you can (ie type rating) there is no need too.

If you have 200hrs and are adding 50 odd on to your total time, which is in simulators, then I think you are doing yourself (potentially) more harm than good. Airlines want to know how many hours you have flown the aeroplane, not how many times you have been re-positioned on an eight mile final to 'just try that again'!!

I sympathize with those of you looking for your first break who have low hours, just remember though that every single commercial pilot currently in an airline job had 200hrs at one point................

Good luck.
