There are many here hired with part 91 time, but only a few with ONLY part 91 time (there was one in my class, but he was very well connected at swa. I spoke to a background checker at length about this and he said it is very tough to get a read on corporate guys.
My experience and research was the same as above. 135/121 means you were doing rides with the feds, not always the case in 135, but more often then not.
