Anything gets a little doubtful, and in the past some airlines discriminated against SP time...they would give preferential treatment to someone with actual PIC.
I should start keeping 2 separate logbooks. An FAA one and an Airline one. My favorite example is suppose pilot pete worked for regional X for a certain amount of time on an ERJ-145 and eventually made captain with a PIC type. But he switches to regional Y and is an FO. He still is typed in the ERJ-145. So anytime he is the sole manipulator of the controls (on say, his leg), he should be able to log PIC since he is type rated and sole manipulator of the controls. Would anyone accept that? Never. Is it legal? Yes. But when the stuff hits the fan, who is the final authority? The guy in the left seat. My favorite example of logging vs acting.
