I'm not saying its the right decision to include Other time, but I disagree with it being the civilian equivalent of dead legging. I would say its more like the civilian equivalent of IRO time at least in my community where augmented crews were common, but one guy kept the A-code the entire flight.

In the civilian world if a three man crew crosses the pond and the Captain takes a rest break in the bunk he still logs all PIC because he was the one who signed for the jet. The same thing happens in the Air Force and I can understand why someone with the A-code who is ultimately responsible for the flight should be able to log all of the time regardless of whether it was primary, secondary, or other time.
