Besides the fact the my company didn't see how you can't work as a crew using two different sets of SOPs, I still remember a debate with a very experienced 91 guy who didn't want to fly the engine out procedure during a V1 cut because it conflicted with our SID. He also shut down our good engine because he failed to have me verify the fuel control. According to him, at his company the pilot performing the checklist is the one who is supposed to verify.
Most people who end up at quality 91 and 135 jobs don't transfer over to 121. It's usually the pilots from entry level 91 135 companies that move over to 121. Some of them end up struggling in training trying to break bad habits or learn new concepts. Anyone who is part of the Private Jet Pilot FB group will know what I'm talking about. About once a week someone has a question that they should have known the answer to before they ever got their ATP.
