Blue Eagle, I'm not sure I get your point.
I'm afraid I don't understand your first paragraph at all, I think we all understand who logs P1 and who logs P2, but why would anyone want to log P1s after issue of an ATPL, as the only purpose of P1s is to accumulate the notional P1 hours for the issue of that licence. Surely P1s has no purpose whatever beyond that? Or does it?
Cerainly I've never been asked to sign for P1s except by pre ATPL FOs. (and then 4 times out of 5 only after the flight when they had not mentioned it in advance and had done nothing more than ordinary FO duties, and therefore weren't entitled to it anyway)
Centaurus, it seems to be a widespread misunderstanding. Pax often ask our FOs when they will become a "proper" pilot, or when they will get their Pilots licence. Non aviation people sometimes ask if I am a co-pilot or a real one...God only knows where they get it from.
