But the release will tell you for sure in either case. Go by that.
My last line check had the check airman in the right seat, and the scheduled FO in the back. I was (with only about 5 hours to spare) still current and was listed and acting as captain.
If you aren't current and qualified (typed, current PC, current line check ect.) then you aren't PIC. So Compass FO's may log sole manipulator pic, but CAN'T be the PIC because they do not have a current pic line check.
