I think the more important thing about the PIC time is whether you were the Captain signing for the flight and making decisions.
When you interviewed at UAL, did they ask you about Type I deice fluid?

It's been beat.....to....death.....in APC land as far what you can log legally.
However, what you can log legally, and what (insert airline here) counts as PIC/"command time" is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Short/easy answer, if you didn't sign for the airplane/listed on the release as PIC, it's NOT PIC to the airlines. PERIOD, END OF STORY.

And the reality is, if ANYTHING goes wrong, it's STILL the CA's a$$.
