An SIC typed FO can only log SIC time in 121 ops. In order to fly as PIC you would need to complete the company's 121 captain training for that aircraft...a generic PIC type rating (say from flight safety) is not enough.
An FO who were to acquire a PIC type on his own dime could theoretically log PIC on part 91 repositioning legs, if the company and the captain agreed to it...but good luck with that
I'm glad you are here to explain this kind of stuff to people. (is the captain the pic
) are you kidding me?...these are the little "extra" things that you learn at an aviation university (at least mine). so i'm glad you and this forum are here to supplement peoples knowledge database, instead of educational institutions. as long as you don't mind answering these kind of questions...keep on bashing aviation colleges.
