Question about how flight time is logged on LH & ULH with augmented crew

Some countries log door open / door closed - all logged as "flight time" in logbook

How does it work with Qatar

Say on a 14 hour flight out to Sydney I am assuming 4 pilots - how much flight time would each one log
(assuming each pilot did half the flying , rest in the bunk)

4 pilots. 2 are CREW A, 2 are CREW B:
CREW A is logging Block Time minus REST. Crew B is logging Block Time minus REST minus 90min (Time spent on jumpseats during T/O and landing).
Usually, on the way back, A and B crews swap.

3 pilots 2 are OP, 1 is IR:
CP is logging Full Block Time, FO is logging Block Time minus REST, IR is logging Block Time minus REST minus 90min.

When it is down to logging hours they are really creative. QCAA is the top over the top along with the ex QR management. (The new, is yet to prove itself)
With this way to log hours, there is a point where the PIC is resting, not logging hours and the cpt IR is operating but doesn’t log PIC hours, so basically there is no PIC.
There was a time were taxi time was prohibited to be logged as IFR time.. because there was a clown saying the “during taxi pilots were not using instruments”.. WTF
Basically when you go to print your hours you get for example 8000 block, 5000 flight.
Now i do not even know how they want to log the hours nowadays, i do not care anymore. Just print them and go
