91 currency is based on you being the PIC, 121 SIC training does not count for that.
If your sim instructor is a CFI, and you can talk him into it, he can probably sign you off for a 91 IPC if you want one.

Interesting. I don't remember what the recurrent piece of paper said from SkyWest, but at the various other recurrents I've been to (CAE and PanAm), I don't think there's a distinction. I actually use those to "prove" my currency at the little flying club I'm in. It will specifically state currency per FAR blah blah blah.
A side note, I got to snicker when I first rented a Garmin G1000 Cessna Turbo 182T from them. They wanted to know if I had taken the Garmin class they offered. I said no, but I had taken the class at another FBO years earlier. They said I'd have to take it again. Then.... they came to know that I was an "airline" pilot... oh, heck, you're an "expert"... just go fly. First time I had flown a Cessna in many years.
