Default I don't know about that

I don't know if it's legal or not if it was at a 121 operator. Their ops specs state exactly who the PIC is, the person who signed the release, and you're operating under those specs. At the bottom of logbooks it usally says "I state the above is true and correct". Logging PIC time when you weren't PIC isn't true and correct. You can be held accountable for what's in your logbooks. I know of a man that spent 3 months in jail because of what was in it. The FAA was already out to get him because he had made a fool of them in the past once so when they took him to court the second time they used his logbook as evidence against him.

I think most employers would look at that as someone trying to cut corners and wouldn't want that type of person as a pilot.
It is difficult to say what a future employer will or will not accept. Often times it is the employer who is looking to embellish the applicants flight experience so that the new hire will get past the insurance requirements.

Anything is possible. Over my entire career I only had to show my logbooks once in an interview and they really did not look all that close and never even asked me any questions about them.
