Because airlines don't care about that as it is just a technicality. They only care about the real deal. Are you really going to explain, during an interview, that the 1500 hours of 747 PIC time on your resume was while making position reports at cruise?
One of us has to sign the FLT plan when the CA rests, but I don't have any delusions about logging that time. Just keep the coffee pot going!
