Thanks for the input from everyone. I agree on the moral part of the issue, but I am curious if there is an official answer on this. One pilot that i spoke to brought up a good point that a check airmen for his airline works from the jumpseat and can log his time. Not sure if it was PIC or not, but he is not at a control station and is fully responsible for the outcome of the flight.
I know that it would be unwise to log the pic time on an instrument flight due to the fact that i would assume that it could be looked up as to who filed as PIC on that particular flight. On a VFR flight, however, there is no way that i can think of that it could be an issue at an interview. I don't believe in dishonesty, I am simply looking for a firm yes or no interpretation. Any check airmen out there that can give me some input? Thanks again to all who have and will contribute.
