I think pilots sitting right seat in a jet w former 121 Capts will gain much more knowledge and experience then a CFI doing pattern work in a 172.
Yeah but 91/135 and especially contracting requires real work. "Coffee, Ice, Papers" means something different to a 121 airline guy.
Or you can be like the Delta CA who was on my jumpseat and about to retire after a military/30yr airline career. He's gonna walk into Netjets and fly the Gulfstreams because of his experience.
