My freight job was MUCH more enjoyable than this Regional crap. I would leave this job tomorrow for my old job.
I'm in the exact same boat as you. I would literally walk off the job at my regional to go back to my old freight company, but they like many others have pilots on furlough right now. I think many of those who went right from instructing to the 121 world are very miss informed about the 135 freight world. Many believe that you need to be a "cowboy" and breaking regs in unsafe equipment is the norm, but up until this point in my career, the most unsafe I have ever felt in an airplane has most definately been flying 121.
