But I imagine the best answer is probably going to come from an interview prep service. They can give you specific advice for whichever legacy you're targeting.
Good luck.
Thanks, I might reach out to a service just to be sure.

Best answer I could give is no but also yes. Unfortunately I'm facing a downgrade and while I have tons of total time, my TPIC time is mixed between turbine single from a past life, and 121 jet at my current ops. I feel like every hour counts, and I still have under 1000 TPIC as a 121 CA so having to knock off a full 1/3 of it would definitely suck for the resume. The 2/3 rule is company FOM, which is more restrictive than the regs based on what I can find.

(a) Training time and aeronautical experience. Each person must document and record the following time in a manner acceptable to the Administrator:
(1) Training and aeronautical experience used to meet the requirements for a certificate, rating, or flight review of this part.
(2) The aeronautical experience required for meeting the recent flight experience requirements of this part.
But even so "If rated to act as pilot in command of the aircraft, an airline transport pilot may log all flight time while acting as pilot in command of an operation requiring an airline transport pilot certificate" is very clear.
Thanks, 61.51 is what I looked at to clear things up but the "acting" part is where I got a bit confused. My logic says I'm still the Captain of the flight, so nobody else is able to log TPIC, even if the FO is up front while I'm in back.
Like I said, silly question, and not one I thought I would ever have to ask. Just want to be sure my numbers are correct.
