Currently have my ppl and with around 50 credit hours for college. I’m deploying this October for a year and want to apply when I get back. I’m close to around a 150 flight hours + sim time. Just wondering if it would help. I’ve heard mixed things about having flight time coming in. Some say they don’t care if you have flight time but I doubt that. Any answers are appreciated :)

doesn't seem to me that it would be a bad thing. you already have familiarity with aircraft. are your hours in helicopter? small prop aircraft?

SPC (Join to see) - obviously, flight characteristics for a helicopter are different, but i imagine there are some similarities. i think it would be an asset to already have flight hours, no matter what the aircraft is. best of luck!!
