Gidday Jet A. Can you explain to me how a cadet or otherwise can log ICUS on line routine flights with a normal line Captain, when only 1 pilot can be nominated as PIC?
For example (as you know), I'm not a training captain. So, as far as I know when an FO flies with me he/she logs all his/her time as FO and 50% goes towards his/her total aeronautical experience or whatever. He or she is NOT the PIC (under supervision or otherwise). He or she is just the pilot manipulating the controls on his or her sector with the PIC (me) making the final decisions as to the disposition of the flight.
The only ICUS I have ever logged was during my upgrade training when under the supervision of my Training Captain. Well, that's the way it works at Qantaslink.
