Sooo here's one....

Years ago while in the process of flunking my SWA interview I was asked by the interviewer about PIC/other time from flying military heavies....

I explained that when I was in command of the mission, ALL time was listed as PIC but when not in command I did not list "other" time anywhere on the app.

He was a former RJ Captain in a previoud life. Despite how gently I tried to explain the concept he couldn't grasp it.

When on break, as PIC, I am still in command. The same applied at a legacy carrier on long haul. Who is PIC when the Captain is on break? Now on a 767, I don'tlogPIC when the boss is napping...

Touchy subject...

I agree. If your an FO and the CA is napping you don't get to log PIC. If the flight is 12 hrs, then log 12 hrs as FO or CA. ICAO/FAR's require 2 type rated FO's and one type rated CA. FO and CA is what's on your paycheck and it's your job title.
