I am curious if there is any longer a reason to keep track of your PIC time for Part 61 purposes, since we already must possess an ATP at this point, and there are not any additional ratings for which you would need to demonstrate Part 61 PIC hours.
Not that it takes a lot of time to do, but I am considering no longer keeping track of PF time, and wondering if a potential future employer would care that I was logging only SIC time, since PF time means nothing towards 121 PIC totals, anyway.
TIA.
For what it is worth:
I have NEVER tracked PF and PM. I do track landings and approaches. I have never been asked about it at any point.
If you fly in a crew environment I think it is safe to say half your time is PF and half PM. The only PIC airlines care about is when you’re the designated captain signed for the aircraft.
