Ya got me Rob. I guess all those days of getting bumped off of full flights w/ an operating autopilot were a real blow to my ego. On the other hand, those days when I could tell ground ops that they couldn't bump me off the flight due to an MEL'd autopilot were the best

It is so common to use the autopilot in lieu of the SIC that people forget which one is required and which one is optional. Then they get all wound up about the "legality" of logging time. If you're an SIC, and by that I mean a current company pilot, not Joe Schmoe off the street with a Multi-Comm, than you log all the legs you work as SIC. If you're on a ferry or repo, and you don't have a current PIC checkride, or a check airman onboard who says otherwise, you'd better still be logging SIC time, and not PIC even if you're doing all the flying.
