Jelly Doughnut,
Those 400 hours in the right seat logged as P1, What does the Capt log them as?? Do you have two P1's??
In our system, right hand seat time can be logged as command practice time, but only if the P1 has been approved by the Company or CAA to give command practice.
Our regs also state that one pilot must be designated by the company as command pilot.
It would appear from your post that the SACAA and UK CAA accept that an aeroplane can have two captains on a flight. Is this what you are saying has happened?? Who then carries the can if any regs are broken or incident or accident occurs?
