You are more or less correct about that. For reference, it's §121.436. The time doesn't count toward 121 PIC time for the reasons you mentioned. However, you'd think that that 135 turbine PIC would be looked at more favorably than just a CFI.

A ME turbine pilot should be a better training risk than a CFI, but won't upgrade any sooner.

regardless of industry trends. The contract is here to stay. Why not have one and protect your business.. out of the pool of 6000 CFI’s. They can get the 2000 they need to sign it… they only need 1/3 of the interviews to sign it over the next year. To stabilize. The business plan.. the ones that don’t go into the deep end of the pool to wait.

I recently interviewed and they mentioned that signing the contract wouldn't effect class date placement and that everyone regardless of signing the contract or not, was being placed in the same position in line. He did however highly recomended signing it because so many other people were signing it. Assuming he has his information correct people should not panic, hold steady, and do not sign the contract.
