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
It is a company policy just like even though the FAA says sole manipulator can log PIC, nobody else views it that way.
61.51(d)(2) If rated to act as pilot in command of the aircraft, an airline transport pilot may log all flight time while acting as pilot in command of an operation requiring an airline transport pilot certificate.
You could be sitting on the toilet and logging PIC as far as the FAA is concerned if you are acting as PIC as defined under part 1 sec 1.1.
Let's all discuss 250kts under 10,000 feet next!
