I never bid it but honestly after coming from an RJ background I couldn't do more 4+ legs a day in the NE. Instead I went to DFW and did the S80, similar flying with lots of turns but Des Moines and El Paso instead. Much easier on ones sanity, and gentlemen flying.

Would be nice to have a much larger fleet of the 195's. And maybe A321's for the larger stations. The 737 is such a POS from a pax perspective. Hot, cramped, just horrible. And we have something like 300 of 'em. Ugh.

US Air flew D8s because they didn't have any money to replace them lol. And their route structure kinda made sense. Plus oil was a lot higher.

It's all subjective, and personally I've never felt it was a very clear term at all. Never used that term personally.

“Gentleman’s flying” is easy, but also boring AF. There’s something to be said for flying the shuttle. Also that term is not inclusive, as it should be gentleperson’s flying. Lastly, Airbus pilots have nothing between their legs.

If it's inaccurate, most of my career so far has been inaccurate. I still have far more 135 experience than 121. There is a reason that side of the industry is full of lying owners/management, violations, stiffed paychecks, accidents and DUI's.

Netjets/flex and the people in those operations is NOT the norm.

Not to mention there is plenty of open disdain for "Airline pilots" in those circles.
