And it's certainly better than waiting on a call that might not come for another several months, IMO.
My gut says doing it for a year would be a good experience for him and may open up some opportunities down the road. But, I agree with you that there will probably be some really crummy aspects to that gig.
This seems simple to me....take the first one he is offered. After he is offered a regional job he can move along. With the Part 91 job he has the option of moving on along the Part 91 path if he decides he will really like that path better. In fact it will make him more marketable to Part 91 operators if after some period of time he decides he doesn't like 121.
