Airline FO's are in a funny position. I don't have the book handy, but because you only fly as SIC your PC's don't technically count as a BFR (or an IPC). 121 training events generally don't count for anything 91 unless they are specifically signed off as such by a CFI (not all airline sim instructors/check airmen are CFI's). Be advised that most airline instructors don't want the liaibility associated with signing you off for GA. There is a specific exception...a 121 PC for a PIC (not an SIC) does count as a 91 IPC.
Your CFI renewal doesn't count either, except for the 1 hour of ground.
I think you might have got lucky because the SIC rating should count for a BFR (I'm pretty sure). However routine training events, PT's, and PC's normally don't count.
