Odds are low that anyone would ever notice but still.
In all of these situations the other pilot was the one who signed the book as PIC. I was mostly just trying to find a way to not lose those 50 hours of total flight time, but I figured that that was how it was going to happen.
My biggest concern is my online application looking different than my official logbooks and the potential questions in the interview about those discrepancies. I want to be able to show the people on the other side of the table that I'm not trying to put one over on them. I'm sure there is a "standard" or acceptable way to account for the differences I am just trying to figure out what that way is.
