I know Airnet has an SIC program...but those people aren't logging PIC are they?
At Airnet the Baron SIC's were absolutely logging PIC on the 135 legs. Johnnysnow is right. They go through the same training and take the same check ride as the PIC qualified folks. Because they had passed that check ride they are able to manipulate the controls on 135 legs and can log PIC according to part 61.51 (e). They don't log any time as SIC because the baron is only a single pilot airplane.
I hope that helps.
