I also suspect, but am not sure, that to log the TT in the program being discussed, the pilot in the left seat would have to be an MEI, with the guy sitting in the right seat logging the time as dual given. If the guy in the left seat were not an MEI, the guy in the right seat would be a passenger and the time not worth squat.
Basically what's hanging you guys up is that Airnet, as well as some other 135's, have in their Operation Specifications, that in these single-pilot aircraft, that you can 2-crew them legally, with a SIC. This is legally, and is fully recognized by the controlling FSDO, that the SIC can log this time. I would log it as Total Time only, not SIC, but that's just me. Ops Spec's rule the 135 world, and they are all individually approved for each company's needs and environment.
