I, too, log the whole flight If I am operating crew.
Splitting hairs is a slippery slope for me. Actual time in the seat vs. scheduled? Time in the bunk? Time in the jump seat during TO/LDG? Time in the jumpseat doing OPS Calcs or aircraft logbook? Duty time but not in seat - in the lav or galley?
Too much for my tired brain.
Now, PIC time I do split. If I sign the flight plan, I log it as PIC. Obviously the Captain logs that same time as PIC, but there are other instances where two crew members can log PIC simultaneously (i.e. CFI with a licensed pilot doing training) and even though I'm not getting the big bucks, I'm typed and if my signature is on it, I'm logging it.
YMMV

One of us has to sign the FLT plan when the CA rests, but I don't have any delusions about logging that time. Just keep the coffee pot going!

For me, it's as simple as acting as PIC vs., well, simply being the PIC.

Because airlines don't care about that as it is just a technicality. They only care about the real deal. Are you really going to explain, during an interview, that the 1500 hours of 747 PIC time on your resume was while making position reports at cruise?

If 2 FO's are flying and there's an ATC deviation, who's responsible?
Again, just playing devil's advocate here. I'm just an RJ driver who wouldn't half mind being at atlas...
