But.....it isn't civilian time. So, why confuse this particular discussion with that irrelevant statement.

Again - not helping. As I already said, this particular discussion has nothing to do with with what the FAA or the military consider PIC. It's about the fact that each airline may follow their own set of rules when it comes to what they will accept as PIC time.
Someone can go to an interview and try to argue that the FAA said this or the mil regs say that but airline X doesn't care. If they want the time you signed for the jet, then that's what they want .... period.. dot. Deviations from that are going to make one's interview more difficult than it needs to be.
To the OP - don't do your prep in a vacuum. There are plenty of resources out there to help with these kinds of questions. When you get to the point where you're ready to start submitting apps, take the time to sign up with a company like Emerald Coast. Have them advise you on your times and other aspects of how best to fill out your applications, prep for your interview, etc.
