As far as breaking those out and counting them separately for that form for an interview, I would think any time you flew at a 121 carrier, whether it’s pt 91 or pt 121, is irrelevant. That time was all at a 121 carrier. The intent of that sheet is to gauge your experience in a scheduled professional flying outfit similar to the job you are interviewing for. A c172 in a pattern operating under pt 91 is nowhere close. A fractional bizjet under 91k is pretty similar. So that’s where the beef would be if a guy says he has 2k hours of 91k time but it was actually spent beating up a pattern in a small single under pt 91, not 91k. Small little letter, big difference. Pt 91 flights at a 121 carrier? I wouldn’t sweat that.
I wouldn't say the ultimatum though that its always 91 for repo flight. Several times I have done repo where dispatch filed it as 121 (flight number instead of tail number when talking with ATC, signing a release and getting a cargo load report and everything else that would go with a 121 revenue flight). We are authorized to do repo flights either under 91 or 121 but maintenance flights as part 91. Maybe that's the difference though, OpsSpecs.
