No dog in this discussion but let me throw this out. As a A330 CA for a major US Air Line (hint) most of my flights were over 8 hours. It was crewed with me and 2 type rated FO's. I was the only one to sign the release; we didn't sign the logbook. When I would look at my company flight log, it would show the entire fight time under total time but PIC would stop at 8 hrs. When queried, I was told that since I could not be in the seat for more than 8 hours that was all they could credit me as PIC. So who got the rest of the time? This is probably just a company policy
