How do the heavy crews handle this stuff. ?
Does the dispatcher list who is PIC ?

Depends upon the carrier.

The one I worked for did not pass any crew information to the FAA.

It is an entirely different ballgame with a FAR-required dispatch office
and reams of FAA-approved operational control procedures.

And, the air carrier flight plan required for international operations
is very different than the FAA flight plan form. I think you would have
to complete the same ICAO form if you were flying from Los Angeles to
New Zealand in your G550. ;-)
