You are REQUIRED by LAW to do PRIA forms for previous aviation employers of any sort, including part 91. It would probably be a violation of federal law (specifically the Pilot Records Improvement Act) to fail to report a previous aviation employer when applying to a part 121 carrier. Unless there is a look-back window which has expired, you'd better talk to a lawyer before you play games with the feds. Since you got paid, I suspect that counts as employment.
^^^^^^^
This is totally UNTRUE
I can speak with absolute authority on this as I used to deal with this stuff for a living.
If it was P91 and not P91K your employer is not required to respond to a PRIA request. Therefore you basically get a free pass here if you want it. A FOIA request will show any FAA check ride failures and this was not for a type rating so you are good. A PRIA request will show any CERTIFICATED employer records which must fit into a narrow scope of what is reportable.That's all I'm going to say other than PRIA is one of the most mis-understood things in aviation (for good reason) .
edit : yes there are "moral" issues here that's all up to you...but I wouldn't sweat it a bit either way
