Yes, if you have the CRJ type, you can log PIC time when acting as the sole manipulator, based on 61.51. Now, when you interview for the majors, they will probably only be interested in the time when you acted as PIC, so the type probably wouldn't do you much good. |
Just go ahead and try that one. Let me know how it works out for ya. Trust me, the above was sarcasm. I'm not basing my beliefs one iota on what you've thrown out on this thread. You've got pro pilots in both 135 and 121, a 135 check airman and a 135 instructor going against you right now. For my own personal use, if I were in the King Air, I'd be logging the empty legs as PIC and NOT the 135. Why? No 135 PIC checkout.
If you get to discussing the finer points of "acting" vs "logging" PIC in an interview, I'm guessing you'll be seeing the door fairly quickly. Just becuase you can log it on a technicality doesn't mean you should. While you're doing your HR interview and some CA is looking over your logbook, are you gonna go busting in there and say "Hang on, let me explain HOW I logged PIC in that?" Even if you've got two columns, my bet is they'll be a nice song and dance during the interview.

But there were some FO's at Pinnacle from Gulfstream who could have used this PIC time, weren't there?

Not sure how. They didn't have a type, either. The guys in my class that do have types are either from other airlines like Indy Air or bought them. Besides, PCL has some whack PIC exemption for guys from Gulfstream upgrading. They need total time, not PIC time. That can be found in the Ops Specs. The same ones that say there is only ONE PIC in the plane.
