But major airlines like glass turbojet time, and that's easier and (usually) quicker to come by at 121 regionals. They also like 121 experience, because it is different than most 135/91 ops. I show up for work, and 30 minutes later I'm taxing out with 30 pax after having preflighted and speed-read 19 pages of dispatch release info. Then I repeat that 3-7 more times. Part 135/91 often show up 3 hours early, personally service the airplane, do all their own flight planning, and fly one one leg with three pax. Thay have to adapt to the pace in 121.
Kind of disagree here, although I noticed you said "most 135/91" operations. I know of some 135s that are extremely fast paced, running like 121 operations, with well structured training departments and everything else. Not the "rule", more the exception, but hopefully that would be considered.
