OK, so lets say that you're a type rated B747 First Officer with NW and you've operated to Shanghai Pudong Airport a hundred times and accumulated 2000 hours of which you had "operated the controls" 1000 hours. And now you've suddenly been furloughed and you're looking for another job overseas: . . . And you're going to put in your application that you've got 1000 hours PIC in a B747....? I mean, do you really think that any major airline anywhere in the world will credit your experience as having had 1000 PIC hours in a B747....? Do you actually believe that you would qualify as having earned PIC experience while flying as copilot just because you have a Type Rating on the airplane? I can tell you right now that you would have a problem getting hired if you were to market yourself as having had B747 PIC experience.
