It all went downhill when they changed the ATR from a rating on the Commercial certificate to a separate certificate. It should go back to that standard.
To the original poster, it won't matter in 20 years, nobody will care how you logged time in the right seat of a plane without a type rating and maybe even with a type. Then again, I gave up logging time 30 years ago and have had two jobs since. The last interview they didn't even ask for a logbook or total time.
