182 to 337 transition; wise?

[Ernie Martin]

Larry, we know we can't fly a conventional multi-engine airplane with a multi-engine CLT-only license. That's not the issue. The question is this: if you have a multi-engine CLT-only license, do you count your time piloting a 337 as ME time for purposes of a) airline jobs, and b) logging it in your log book. I think the log book issue is clear, you do log it as ME time. But say you have 300 hrs on a 337, then get a full ME license and have 700 hrs on a conventional twin, and then apply for an airline job. Do you have 1000 hrs ME or 700 hrs ME?
