Where? How about total time.
Hank,
You're mistaking what FARs or Mil regulations might allow you to log and what airline X says they will allow in a particular category. They have nothing to do with each other.
SIC is a specific role in an aircraft that requires two pilots to operate. Can you fly a T-6 solo? Yes. Then putting another guy in the other seat (especially one that's a student) doesn't mean he's the SIC. One might be able to argue differently for a T-1, but in terms of applying to airlines, it's entirely up to them. If airline X says UPT student time in a T-6 or T-1 is okay to count as SIC, then do it. If not, then don't. If you want to go toe to toe with someone in an interview room and try to convince them that dual received student time in a T-6 or T-1 counts as SIC when their rules say something different, you're absolutely going to lose.
Same thing for solo UPT time. At one point, UAL didn't allow any time to be logged as PIC prior to having your wings. i.e. solo UPT time didn't count.
It's up to the airline.
