If you are flying across the Atlantic in a jet, why would you possibly care about logging night or instrument time? If you do recurrent training it takes care of the currency requirements, and if you are bringing your logbook to a job interview I doubt any one would care how much night time you have if they see you have been flying a transport jet across the pond.
Yes, quite.
Instrument time, night time, inverted asymmetric partial-panel NDB holding time, whatever. Since I obtained my licence, no-one (including me) has been the slightest bit interested in any of it. They only get excited when I'm approaching the limit for flying/duty/workdays.
If you’d done a lot of night freighting you might end up with more night hours than someone who’d done mostly aerial photography. Just a guess. Airlines are generally interested in two things: can you pass an LPC/OPC and could someone sit next to you for 12hrs and not want to punch your lights out.
Would you call following a flight director “instrument flying” any more than doing it on autopilot?
