So if an interviewer questioned me I would very tactfully point him/her to that reg, and if they still didn’t like that, there’s really not much I can do.
I came across this post in doing some homework on this topic. 61.51(f)(1) says
"Is qualified in accordance with the second-in-command requirements of § 61.55, and occupies a crewmember station in an aircraft that requires more than one pilot by the aircraft's type certificate"
The part about "occupies a crewmember station" suggests that bunk time does not count.
