I typed.

Also, what are people doing for flight time that isn't PIC (signed for/primarily responsible for the airplane) or SIC. Lets say I'm flying my friend's plane with him, and therefore he is responsible for the plane, but I am the sole manipulator and flying it and he's just riding along? It's in my logbook per the FARs, but I can't log it in this provided table since he could take over at any time. Another example...I flew a WW2 fighter for almost an hour. The guy in front was clearly in charge and the insurance covered only him as the PIC, but I flew it the entire time minus takeoff/landing. Do I just omit that time and have less total time on the application than is in my logbook? Another scenario would be when I was a 1800 hour guy getting a fixed wing instrument add on rating in a cessna. The 400 hour CFII is responsible for the aircraft and my instruction, although I am the only one touching the controls and flying it, and am rated in that category and class. FAA says log it as PIC time. But my interpretation is I can't log that time as anything per the JB table, and therefore it is not loggable time.

I don't care either way, I just don't want discrepancies between my logbook and what I am submitting to JB. When my logbooks say I have 3000 TT and this sheet of paper says I have 2800 TT, or whatever the difference is, do I just say the discrepancy is due to the difference in what JB calls for and what the FAA calls for?
