Minutia I realize but then again these discussions always are, there is no provision for logging PIC under PART 1 it is all under 61.51. An ATP logs time under 61.51 while being PIC (part 1) under an operation requiring an ATP certificate.
Personally I just go sit my plane with the intent to fly and drink coffee, I think I am up to 50,000hrs now....
