I flew 91 and 135 for 5 years before going 121 and while the flying is more mundane, the safety level is higher and stress level is much lower.
Tossing some papers on the table and asking for coffee or lav service at the FBO really wasn’t a factor, personally going through a FBO vs a crappy terminal in a crappy city, I’ll happily carry a newspaper or bag of ice lol
I also did a ton of low level flying, I do some more “extreme” by todays standard hobbies, flying the 135 jet I fly now is one of the more safe things I do in my life lol
All and all, the 121 pay after X years seems **** hot, the retirement at many including spirit is quite nice too, hence why I’m somewhat interested at making the jump down to hopefully end up with a jump up
