Hey you get no argument from me on that point. When I went from 121 to large cabin 91, is when I felt like I was doing some real flying. Flying around in the pattern at uncontrolled fields with 172's and R22's and landing on 4200 x 75 foot runways... pure visuals -- no RNAV, no ILS. Can't fly that stuff on automation.
As far as 121 /135 flying goes, I'm just saying that legal teams have a heavy hand in it -- everything is there for a reason.
Cheers.
