Any one out there make the switch from 135 to 121 or vice versa...if so what where your experiences, schedules, right moves???

The normal career path is from CFI to 135 to 121.

There are however some good jobs in 135 that would be worth leaving a regional (or maybe a major) for. 135 covers a LOT of different types of flying operations:

1 man, 1 airplane charter (Piston airplanes).
Night Freight (pistons singles, twins, a few turboprops)
Small/medium local charters companies (king airs, bizjets)...these jobs can be good, bad, or ugly.
Large Fractional Operators...these are jobs decent, but not spectacular.

The quickest way to a fractional is probably some RJ time at a regional.

I did the CFI-135-121 bit. I got tired of not doing much flying at the 135 operator I was working for. Since I made the switch, I've really enjoyed the 121 gig. I commuted to reserve for one month. This sucks, don't do it. I moved to my domicile the next month. The difference is night and day.
