You might as well log a few shuttle orbits and some supersonic flight in the Concorde while you're at it.
Surely, you jest.
I do a bit of heavy crew flying, some of it in the ultra long haul category, and I can assure you that you log all of it as flight time. Of course, only one Capt is the PIC. All of your time aloft goes into your crew rest requirements too. How else could it be? You don't subtract the time in the bunk from your rest regulations.
