You guys seriously know how to make a mountain out of a molehill: I wasn't aware that the 121 world was so prestigious that it has to be sheltered from all other "inferior" forms of aviation.
I was making a statement in response to all the bashing going on here. I was under the impression that this was a thread regarding KCM... Guess I was wrong
You're right though, I've never seen a bus driver get a tip before.. What are the regionals paying these days? Oh right, they're giving "hiring" and "retention" bonuses to honey dick the pilots into accepting wages that are still sub par. Have fun spending the day on Amazon agonizing over which lanyard you should proudly display through the terminals next.
Anyways, 135 companies are required to do the same background checks/jump through the same hoops as 121 applicants have to. I really don't see the big deal.
