You are incorrect, perhaps some reading is in order.
Never flew part 91. In fact the bulk of my time is Military Heavy Time, which could start another 25 page debate on how to log. If you took more than a cursory view of the argument, "logging" PIC is different from "acting" as PIC. A quite lengthy FSDO explanation has already been re-posted on this thread that I suggest you review before attempting to argue further. We've seen this thread too many times to simply accept your "shoot from the hip" point of view on the "C" in PIC. The PIC column in your logbook has nothing to do with who was in command...in fact, it's a bit of a misnomer; the column on your employment application probably does require "command", it's important to know the difference.
Part 121 does not govern your logbook. Half the guys in 121 no longer keep a logbook.

If you insult another member, post something inappropriate, or just generally become a nuisance I will moderate. I am wrong quite often...just ask my wife.
Unfortunately I was quoted before I revised my post, you are doing quite fine.
