Theres a few different kinds of PIC time.
Essentially every airline looking at this stuff specifies that they only count PIC time where one was the person that signed for the aircraft.
If you log a couple minutes of PIC time here and there because of "sole manipulator" or some other technicality, though you may legally be justified in doing so, you're going to harm yourself more than it'd ever help. Thats going to get you on the receiving end of quite a few tough questions in an interview and you're not going to win.
When airlines say they want / prefer PIC time, they're saying they want what comes along with it... ie: being a captain. Not that you managed to figure out a way to put it into your logbook.

Does anybody have any inside scoop on what they plan to do with us FO's? CT's latest message and every other company e-mail on the subject does a whole lot of of talking but not much of saying anything.
For those who don't have the 1500 hours by Aug. 2013 - Will they be let go by the company?
Will the company mandate flying for those who don't meet the time requirements so that they can meet them by Aug. 2013?
Will there be some sort of grandfather clause?
Anybody with any inside scoop whatsoever, please divulge.

My guess for those without 1500 the company will work out a deal with ALPA to give those guys schedules to build them up to 1500. At legacy ASA I don't think it's much of a problem, we have not really hired much in a while.

Step back a little. What happens when all the majors retire a couple thousand pilots next year? They are all coming from the regionals and none from the military. Whereare the regionals going to find ATP pilots to hire?

In the face of all this retiring that HAS to happen, the hiring machine at most companies remains quiet. Delta has cut capacity and pushed hiring back until who knows when? Is it that management has their plans in place? Not doing one for one hiree to retiree hiring? Or is this the calm before the sheet show?

People want money, power, and/or prestige. When all three are gone, noone shows up for work.
