Just wanted to vent/share my thoughts since no one in my life is in the industry.
Recently-ish started over at a 135 freight operator as my first job in the industry since getting my cert a few months back. Everyone and their mother (plus the few posts from pilots about us on here) told me I'd be miserable and this place would suck hard. To put it simply- I was scared • I'd end up hating life.
It's certainly a lot of PITA paperwork and not strictly dispatching (thankfully no sales), but it's not the doom and gloom I was told that I'd experience. Easy-peasy M-F 9-5 schedule and pretty okay pay. Still in the honeymoon period, but I still think it's nuts that I get paid to do what I do. All in all, I think that I may stick with 135 for the foreseeable future, no rush to get to the 121 grind quite yet.
