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.
A repo flight may well be 121. But it COULD be 91. All depends on who is along for the ride. At JB, we still have a dispatch for a 91 flight, as well as a flight number. But no uniform is required, and family members can ride in the cockpit. Big difference.
