Yet I know people who have taken MEI checkrides other places and those 10 hours counted towards their 15 hour requirement, even people who did their MEI as their initial instructor rating with an FAA examiner. NoyGonnaDoIt seems to be totally right about people at FSDOs lol.
In this scenario, you would be logging illegally. You can't log PIC if you aren't even rated yet. That would definatley raise the red flag for me.

The same is true if you had your multi, flew in a king-air, and logged PIC if you didn't have a high-alt endorsement.
