Default Foreign Part 135/121 Time Conversion?

Does anyone know how one would find out if their foreign airline time would work towards the FAA part 121 PIC hour minimums?

Say if you worked in a a scheduled airline with aircraft ranging from Twin Otters/BE1900's to A320's and you flew the former two?

I would call the Twin Otter/1900 time as Part 135 and the A320 as Part 121 in that airline. I was told part 135 counts towards Part 121 mins?

Part 135 time is the flight time flying a US 14 CFR Part 135 aircraft under 14 CFR Part 135 regulations using an FAA airmans certificate.

Part 121 time is the flight time flying a US 14 CFR Part 121 aircraft under 14 CFR Part 121 regulations using an FAA airmans certificate.

Your foreign flight time is total time, PIC or SIC. There is not a conversion factor.

Just so there's no doubt, the answer is in fact No.

135 time counts towards some 121 requirements (such as upgrade). But no foreign time counts as 135 or 121.
