I've seen a huge range from the 121ers. I've seen ones do quite excellent and others not so hot. The biggest area I've seen a deficiency is in their decision making.
Well I hope you are not referring to all of the 121ers. Some of us don't mind flying 135 when we come from the 121 world. Others can't stand the 135 world, but this being the only job that they could find decided to take it.
I came from the 121 world. This isn't my dream job, but I'm enjoying it immensely. I know that each of us have different perspectives, but if a better job then this one popped up you would be stupid not to take it.
I know some of those pilots that are deciding to go back to the 121 world. It’s their choice. If they want to break their 1 year training contract then so be it.
When it comes to no loyalty or integrity because they decided to leave before their one year, remember that they are being loyal to their first employer that had to let them go.
So please be careful next time when you’re referring to a whole group as having a deficiency in decision making please. Pilots from all groups make bad decisions, not just one group.
