If its an S-76 as you mention, if a pilot is S-76 rated and occupies the LHS, why wouldn't he be able to log P2 time? S-76s have been flown 2 crew under VFR for 30 years.
Because the Type Certificate Data Sheet (See Here ) only requires one pilot, therefore only one can log the time, unless instruction is being given. (Which cannot occur on a Part 135 flight). Comes down to people "bending" the rules again....

I think that's a bit over the going rate
Not really, when you take into account employee pay, workers comp, insurance etc...... plus a bit of profit---we do not do this for charity.

let me know where this naive millionaire is
There are all over.... I get calls from clients who will not fly in an aircraft over 5 years old, and actually had a client a few weeks back who tried to charter 2 helicopters....one for him and one for his bags so that he did not have to wait for them to be unloaded from his airplane. I too was shocked, as I am more used to the utility market....
