This is true. Many companies would not accept this logged PIC time, but it is legal. Companies are interested in when you were acting as PIC, not logging PIC.

His interview lasted 10 mins, if it was that long, before he was shown the door.
However,
I have heard of a few foreign companies accepting it.
I do know a limey that got on at EK using PIC/US as his only PIC. I don't remember what their hiring requirements were back when he was hired but I believe they did require PIC.

Way back when I was applying to EK, at least ten years ago, they required actual PIC time, that could have changed.

Fake captain time!
Eventually things like this tend to catch up with people... Just because it's not illegal doesn't make it right...
There can only be one captain!
If you didn't sign the logbook - you are NOT the captain!
Period.

Wow, if that's not misleading I don't know what is? Why don't you log pic time whenever the captain goes back to take a leak? Just make him/her drink copious amounts of water and before you know it you'll be eligible to fly the space shuttle.

I have volunteered for recruiting events (job fairs, interviews, etc.) at several airlines and I know that recruiters study candidates' decision making skills and they want to review decisions made by pilots who're actually in charge of the flight, in other words those who signed their names in the aircraft logbook.
You can use your tutti-fruity pic time all you want but it's not true pilot-in-command time. Sometimes it works and sometimes HR personnel catches this pseudo-legal and yet very creative flight time boosting technique.
Like I said, offer the captain as much water as you can and make sure to log it as pi$$-IC flight time..

I know the regs fairly well; maybe you struggle with reading comprehension? Never said it was against the law. I'm pretty sure I said "..just because it's not illegal.."
