Every other phase of flight is higher workload. Especially during pre boarding, boarding, pushback, taxi out, pre takeoff, climb out. That is where it’s gonna be very different for you because there’s a gazillion procedures you will have to learn the way the company wants you to know it. You won’t be doing it the way you did it in 135/91 land. You will be doing it the way UAL, DL, NK, AAL, SWA, etc. etc. etc. etc (whichever company decides you’re worth taking a risk on and are still teachable) wants you to do it.

I’ve seen cases like you 135/91 guys who have “loads of experience” in that realm of aviation that can’t hack it in 121 training and are asked to leave. It’s not an experience issue. It’s an attitudinal/adjustment issue. And it’s more common than you think. Not saying 135/91 is useless. Not saying 121 flying is better. Just simply trying to break it down for you hoss, that it’s very different. You will need to adapt and come in with an open mind. That is all.
