The term "mission" is a subtle suggestion that completing the flight is more important that it really is. It is also leftover military nomenclature used by people in FltOps who still wear callsign nametags on Fridays.
Well - depends how you define the mission. 121 mission is to deliver on time comfortable and efficient transport from A to B, without ever compromising safety.
That is a mission I signed up for. (no military history)
