What is your motivation to switch? Going to a MTC event would maybe help.

why would anyone go back to corporate? Less pay and no retirement. Doesn’t make any sense. For the catering?

I’ve known people to go back to 135 where they were home every night. One guy flew for the same owner, treated well, and his own bed every night. That’s worth a lot; sure sounds like “work rules” to me, the thing we are always chest bumping here

You can definitely get hired here with no 121 experience. I know, because I did it. And no, I’m not going back.

Never flew 121 until Spirit OE. I would not go back to corporate. I miss the variety of flying, and not much else.

exactly. QOL at work is better in the corporate world. Corporate can’t touch the QOL at home, of 121.

Which is exactly why your QOL at home is better.

Im guessing people who work 91/135 and have never worked for a decent airline... there's always a few threads or facebooker posts that pit 135/91 and 121. Its usually the regional turned 135 guys that bash the airlines...or a 91/135 guy that hasn't experienced the other side. And the same.

However, I am on a JA right now, so its not all fun and games...
