But if you show up at your 121 indoc with your 1-2-3 and 600/800 rules, and having never seen a MEL, or GOM, or any opspecs, you have a steep hill to climb.



I'm not sure what you mean by those "many 135" jobs. 1200 is the legal minimum for IFR PIC, and I don't know of many places that need 1200 for their SICs but would hire a CFI at 500-900.

I think that steep learning curve depends on the person though. There have been many who went from CFI to 121 perfectly fine and many who went from 121/135 to 121 who haven't done well at at all. Just saying.....
