1. Count OTHER time when calculating your PIC time! The airlines intent in PIC time is "How many hours do you have as the A code" i.e. signed for the jet. So in command on a 9 hour flight with 3 pilots you would have 3hrs PRI, 3 hrs SEC, 3hrs OTHER, and 9 hours PIC (not recorded by the military). If someone asks how you can log PIC from the bunk, you ask "who is the PIC right now?" and they would say "One of the Copilots in the seat" and you would say, "Well if that is true, then I will take 3 hrs PIC from a 9 hr trip I did 4 years ago when I was the coplilot, and we'll call it a wash...."

AND...do you really think the excuse "I was in the bunk at the time" will relieve you of any fault finding in the military?

If you want to be conservative don't count OTHER time in your overall flying totals, but do count it towards your PIC time.
