You think 135 regs are non existent?! Get on with an unfriendly 91 operation and see what your duty days / schedule look like then!
I wouldn't pay much attention to these comments. Not all Part 135 is like this. If you want to go 135, do your research first and work for a reputable operation who values their employees enough to not treat them as above. This advice stands for any operation you go to, whether it be 91, 121, or 135. There are bad operators in all of them.
