Well, I've never seen ones that specified.

Exactly, I wonder which one they're assuming though?

Of course you're not the "real" PIC. You're just someone following the rules of "logging" PIC. I would hope everyone knows that, including the interviewer. Are you suggesting that Part 135 employers don't like pilot who follow the rules?
I know for a fact which way our insurance company views it. I've specifically asked more than once when upgrading pilots to Captain.

Yes. I have no experience with pax 135 operators, but for the freighters, it's pretty much mandatory!

That actually may be a troubling truth according to a discussion I had with an FAA attorney. troubling because it's the pilot who is most likely to receive the violation.

And when you are the pilot at the operation who does things legally you are the "trouble maker".

For 135 freighter, specifically cancelled checks, legal = slow.

I used to have a criminal practice. All my clients - from street crime to white collar - thought they were good enough to not get caught.You just have to be good enough to not get caught!

Congratulations. Glad you're proud of your luck (I'm sure at this point you would say skill) in getting away with ignoring the rules.

I once had to fill in for a pilot who climbed "VFR" out of an uncontrolled airport to get an IFR clearance and checked on with center with a bases report (that is to say before she got her clearance.) I don't know if it is luck or skill to get away with things, but there definitely exists "negative skill" at this particular practice.

I don't see the problem...maybe it was a scattered layer.

This is no laughing matter.
I've always been of the belief that the rules are meant to be enforced by those tasked to enforce the rules. I positively loathe those who simply break whatever rules are inconvenient to them, with no thought to how it might affect others. But I equally loathe those who spend the few hours of life they're given busying themselves by being being Informers or Apparatchiks. I follow the rules as I understand them. Every time. No exceptions, ever. But I wouldn't piss on an Informer if they were on fire. These notions are not, as far as I understand it, mutually exclusive.

Unfortunately, some people in middle management at the FAA want ATC to do double duty as Air Cops.
