Someone will argue I'm cheating myself out of PIC time but it's something like less than 20 hours and I'd rather be conservative than have to explain myself in an interview/ indicate that I'm trying to fluff my numbers.

Now in terms of apps, not sure where I would put that "solo" time, probably omit it if there is not a section for it and explain my reasoning in an interview rather than trying to justify that as an airline's definition of PIC time.
