100LL... Again! said:The thing that makes 121 better overall is not the pilots but the way 121 is adminstrated. It is just plainly a lot more stringent, and the day-to-day operations are much more structured. OF COURSE it will be safer overall.
The only reason why 121 is more stringent is because its fruits are available to anybody. The FAA is just protecting their own a$$. For example...Joe Jackoff who owns his own business and TBM700 creates a smoking hole in the ground somewhere in the mountains during the dead of night in a blizzard. Media coverage=0. Maybe a small three sentence article in the USA today. Therefore bad propaganda for the FAA=0. Now lets turn the tables. XYZ Airline crashes a 737 with many casualties. Media coverage=1,000,000! It' on the front page of every city paper in the country. Propaganda for the FAA= -1,000,000. You get what I'm saying? The FAA doesn't give a flying fudge about the TBM because nobody knows about it and therefore doesn't make them look bad and the FAA doesn't feel like listening to all the sh...I mean fuss from the media about "were the pilots trained properly, was the airplane maintained properly...blah, blah, blah in a widely publisized commercial crash.
