I guess there are enough guys disenfranchised with their current company to keep filling up classes!
I've seen a lot of guys with corporate backgrounds looking to move into a "lower tier" major to break into 121 and leapfrog the regionals. On a pure schedule-to-schedule basis, a bad 121 schedule usually beats a good 135 schedule any day. Can't speak to the pay and training bond, other than maybe it's looked at as the cost of doing so.
