”THEY” get to log the block time as PIC , “WE” get to log the seat time as SIC.
Just the way the cookie crumbles.
If you want, its perfectly legal to log that time as PIC. Bold strategy and good luck explaining that in an interview.
Funny detail, UPS asks for PIC time when nominated PIC either before or during the flight.
I know a guy hired there with counting just his relief PIC time he logged.
