"If you have 1200 hours today and you go to the 135 operation it is because you did not make it getting in to the 121 regionals."
Not really, some people want to make more money at first. Others want a quicker route to PIC turbine. The 1000 PIC turbine could be had in the third year at Amfight while it might take five to even upgrade at Eagle. Some people like the schedule. I think I could find a niche at 135 freight I'd like much better than a typical 121 regional schedule. To each his own.
I do hope pay goes up at 135 freight, though. It's long overdue.
