Try again.
Perhaps you need to try again, because like I said, you don't understand the regulations. Subpart (e) deals with pilot in command.
61.51 (e)(iii) is one way you are allowed to log Pilot in Command. Sections i, ii, iii, and iv are all different ways you are allowed to log Pilot in Command.
The pertinent regulation is 61.51(e)(i):
When the pilot is the sole manipulator of the controls of an aircraft for which the pilot is rated, or has sport pilot privileges for that category and class of aircraft, if the aircraft class rating is appropriate;
It doesn't matter if the flight is operated under 91, 135, 121, or any other reg. If the pilot is rated in the aircraft and the sole manipulator, they can log it as PIC.
Is it a good idea? For 121, absolutely not. Is it legal? Yes.

I'm only a 135 guy, not 121, but I haven't seen an Ops Specs that said anything about logging flight time in a pilot logbook.
