Send a recruiter your hours, counted their way

Private links for one recruiter or company, each counted by the rules you pick, with its own expiry date and view count.

Airlines don't all count military time the same way. The number that belongs on one application can be different on the next, and that's normal. It's also a lot to explain in an email to a recruiter.

Private links let you send each recruiter a page of your flying, counted the way their airline asks for it.

Three private links on the Sharing page, each with its airline's mark, counting rules, created date, expiry and view count
One link per recruiter. Each shows the airline whose rules count its hours, when it expires and how often it was opened.

One link per person

Create a link, note who it's for (only you see that note), and pick how its hours are counted:

  • As flown: your military time categories, duty codes and sortie counts, with civilian flying in its own section.
  • Career totals: military and civilian flying combined into civilian categories, with PIC counted by aircraft command.
  • American Airlines, Delta, Southwest or United totals: the same rules as that airline's worksheet in your exports.
The Count hours menu in the link editor set to Delta totals, next to a preview of the page with Delta totals
Pick the counting rules, and the preview updates before anyone sees it.

The differences are real. The major airlines ask for Total without Other time, so their links leave it out even if your own logbook view keeps it in. Each page lists how its hours were calculated, so the recruiter doesn't have to guess either.

Private means private

Only people with the link can open it, and search engines leave it out. Like the public profile, it never shows airfields, tail numbers, units, crew or exact dates. Set an expiry date if you want it to close after hiring season, or turn it off yourself anytime.

Know when it's opened

Each link shows how many times it was opened and when. It won't tell you who, because we don't record that.

A preview, not your application

A link helps a recruiter see where you stand. It doesn't replace the application, your logbook, or the records you bring to an interview. For those, use the airline worksheets and the ledger PDF described in export formats. Private links take Pro.

Common questions

Can a recruiter see my individual flights from a private link?
No. A private link shows totals, years and months, aircraft and the records you choose. Flight rows, airfields, routes, tail numbers, units, crew and exact dates never appear.
Why do the airline totals differ from my logbook totals?
Each airline option uses the same rules as that airline's worksheet in your exports. American, Delta, Southwest and United all ask for Total without Other time, and PIC follows aircraft command. Your logbook view uses your own conversion settings.
What happens when a private link expires?
It stops opening on that date. Change or clear the date and it opens again, or delete the link.
