Reminds of a twin running around, where three guys would split the time and log the hours..
You had a pilot in the left seat, a flight instructor in the right, and get this, an ATP in the back as he was the highest rated pilot in the aircraft, a little arcane rule that has passed scrutiny with the FAA.
This was taken to task when a guy gave a lift to an ATP rated pilot, the guy flew through military airspace while the ATP was asleep, the ATP was reprimanded for not having prevented this, as he was sitting up front.
It's like logging ground taxi time. The FAA will bust a pilot for rolling his C172 into 737, so the rule is, if your responsible, you can log it.
