Oh man...I can't even begin to tell you how they are NOT worth the same...I'm not talking about monetary value...
question:
How much commercial flying time do you have? As in: How many hours do you have as a paid pilot? (not how many hours while holding a comm cert)
What 135 experience are you talking about? Looks to me you have ZERO 135 experience...
For one i was joking about the ass kissing thing, second I am very humble and my x-ctry, although it built confidence it also showed me that flying a 300nm xctry with an instructor saying good job, did not make me a good pilot. There is a retired American Airlines 757 captain in my civil air patrol squadron. One thing he told me is hours does not reflect skill. A pilot with 1000 hours can wash out of training just like a guy with 300 hrs can, you are the master of your own ability.
Negative i have no 135 experiance, but i do know the differences between 135 vs 91 flying end at the operator level. There are certain requirnments an operator must fufill to operate 135 op. Taxes, runway lenght, flight crew duty time, restrictions and fees, just to name a few. If your in a piston your flying at the same altitudes, same speeds and in the same Sh*t weather. The diff between me and the 135 pilot is. I'm not getting paid and i dont have a boss breathing on my back.
