Last few years I’ve flown with a couple dozen 135 new hire pilots. We chat a lot about their experiences good and bad from that world, and what they love and don’t like so much about 121. All of them have been great people to fly with so far. Never once has any of them made comment about how that 135 flying was more challenging and required a higher degree of skill, it’s just different.

Quite a few of them however talk about flying with guys like you who say things like this. And now I get it.
