Keep in mind that 135 operators have training contracts. Quite a few of them, so be aware of their lengths and weigh your options on how long it take you to build your time outside of 135 vs at a 135 cattier with a training contract.
Seniority is key, it really doesn’t do good to be losing months of seniority at a regional because your at a 135 who has a 15-18 month training contract.
