Thanks for the info.
I was trying to figure out whether the hours count towards the military bridging package to allow me to skip some of the exams. I understand that I'd need a type rating on a recognized multi-engine type to unfreeze an ATPL, which I could have by moving on to another multi-engine type after the King Air. But from what you are saying any hours INSTRUCTING on any aircraft wouldn't count towards the requirement for the military bridging package, in which case I would need to make up the hours on another type. Do I have the basic gist of it or am I being thick?!
