How many rag tag 121 operators are there out there? Are you saying that 91 corporate pilots are less professional than you because you're a 121 pilot, or that 121 pilots are immune to stupidity? Everyone, whether it be 91, 121, or 135, has made a questionable decision at one point. If that isn't arrogance then I don't know what is.
I grew up in corporate aviation and the one thing that always bothers my old man is that he is grouped into the same category as a cessna 150 even though he flies Gulfstreams. And how 121 pilots think they aren't, like you said, professionals. A part 91 pilot has a lot more planning to do than any 121 pilot when they go on trips.
Just my 2 cents.
