I'm really sorry I hurt your feelings. There. Is that better?

You're not really hurting anybody, just proving how much of a tool you are... Repeatedly.

If they let you count the time you spent eating Captain Crunch as a kid as PIC time, then have at it. But actually putting it in your logbook that reputable airlines might end up seeing one day is flat out pathetic and in most cases will get you laughed out of the interview.

Yo gloopy....

I guess what we are having here is a failure to communicate. You wrote that in response to this post.


Once you get hired by an airline they don't care how you log your time.

But apparently you missed these multiple posts just prior to that one.

But make no mistake about it your sole manipulator time will not be counted towards PIC for the purpose of getting a job with an airline in the USA. In fact it will most probably get you un-hired from an interview in a big hurry.


Do what you think is prudent.

But I will say this one more time just so it is clear. DO NOT log type rated FAR 121 sole manipulator time as PIC in your log book for the purpose of fulfilling PIC requirements for any U.S. airline. I wouldn't do it under any circumstances, if some foreign contract outfit wants to credit you with sole manipulator time then you can work out the details as necessary.

They all told me that I could use sole manipulator time if I had been a type rated F/O to fulfill the 1,000 hour PIC requirement. I never took any of them up on the offers so I can't verify how it would have turned out.

Is there really any question as to what my opinion on this subject is?

If you want to log PIC as an SIC sole manipulator after you get your dream airline job it is perfectly legal to do so. But you'd better be darn sure that was your last job interview.

What gets you laughed out of an interview is claiming 1200 hours of Captain Crunch.

I have 1200 hours of Cap'n Crunch on my resume, and interviewers are impressed that I spelt it the write way.

Having worked in 121 for over 3 years, the only time I've ever heard of FOs even considering logging PIC is on this forum. In other words, I think it rarely is even considered, and whenever it pops up here I think it's simply trolling. It always gets a rise out of the PIC "skygods", so at least it's amusing.

Either way though, you shouldn't do it and here's the proof:

You are operating under part 121 rules/ops pecs. You did not have a fed check.

You are confusing acting as PIC with logging PIC

This should mark the end of the thread. Good day to all.
