I did that for a couple years with a 135 operation that was part of the FBO I worked for. I was a seat warmer, just decoration for the customers that wanted 2 pilots.

Paid 8 bucks a hour duty time (back in the day, that was good cash), and I learned ALOT from the pilots flying. It ended up being about 300 hrs I couldn't log. I did fly the 91 legs and log that as I was appropriately checked out per the FARs and had King Air time.

The time won't go in your logbook, but the experience is very good.

BTW, I had all the appropriate Comm/Multi/Inst, high alt endorsement when I did that.
