My mistake, you are absolutely right—there’s 3 conditions (turbojet, >9 pax, commuter). Thank you.

While it is not specifically addressed, I can't imagine that the FAA would restrict pilots in 135 operations because their aircraft has turbofan engines instead of turbojet engines.
I couldn’t find another definition in the regs for turbojet in 14 CFR, hense my reference to Title 40.
I want to see the same intent, or spirit-of-the-regulation, because I agree with that statement (turbojet is turbofan), but I couldn’t find any supporting documents.
