On the C5 we sent crews on the road with 1 A code. Often 1 Aircraft Commander and 2 First Pilots for 24 hour duty days.

so 121 RJ guys can log PIC on legs they fly? Or ACMI guys when the Captain was in the bunk?For a major airline interview I don't think so.
Not only that, the FAA and DL have different requirements for what they call PIC in terms of what they are looking for.
