I specifically chose to keep instructing because the 135 wouldn’t count toward that upgrade time anyway.
I would check with a few more sources before you expect an upgrade at the next bid.
135 most definitely counts (PIC, 10+ seats, turbine, type rating required). Airlines like Envoy have been hiring direct entry captains with nothing but 135 time.
