I guess bad advice is a strong word, but Dera has a history of making it seem like the CFI to 121 transition difficult and places a lot of weight on the need to go 135 to make that transition easy.

With that being said, I would like only recommend 135 for CFI who is going going to need over a year to get ATP mins, but someone who only needs R-ATP mins or can meet their mins in less than a year, I would recommend knocking the time out wherever they are and get on a seniority list somewhere stead of locking themselves into a contract that usually 12 to 18 months long.

Hence is why Ameriflight is in tough spot with their FO mins. A lot of folks folks can just stick out where they are at and head off to a regional in about 6 to 8 months with the mind they are requiring.
