So riddle me this. If Tel has Hull upgrde, you should wind up with two hull after the pilot ability triggers, correct?
As a reminder, Hull Upgrade: increase your hull value by one. Tel: the first time you would be destroyed, instead, cancel all damage cards (would be 6 in this case), and deal 4 face down damage cards to this ship.
I've got to say, that was a pretty easy riddle.
Yes, you're reading it right.
He will end up with 4 face down Damage cards, and still have 6 Hull, because technically you don't lose Hull points. But effectively, yes he will be able to sustain 2 more Damage before being destroyed.
The bonus there is the Damage cards a dealt facedown, but the Damage cards that were discarded may have been faceup and causing all sorts of problems. Instead of having a crippled ship, you've now got a good ship with a few minor holes in it.

More if he has shield regeneration (cougonkhcough)

MAJOR holes, let's be fair.

Yeah, good point. 
He/she/it is going to be pretty tank with hull upgrade and gonk.
