Why would one want to log time in the jump seat, safety pilot or not? It's not as if there are any piloting controls available.

I agree safety pilot time should count towards duty time, and overtime thresholds (if any) but basically a safety pilot is there incase the trainee can't cope, and needs to be replaced for the safe continuance of the flight. Aren't they?
