Maybe, just maybe, there are people there who actually enjoy the job and aren't losers or whatever.
Airline flying isn't for everyone, just like flight instructing or 135 night freight isn't... I know someone there who *loves* it and has 0 interest in going elsewhere.
More money at 121? Of course. $ isn't everything; take what you earn and live within your means.

He meant 14 hours of waiting at the fbo/flying and then 10 hours rest not as in days on/off.
