In a reasonably similar vein; I started with a large airline and then moved on. I’ve now worked for over five airlines all over the world. I still have many friends in the original airline who are now experienced line pilots, TRIs, TRES and senior managers.
None of them have ever worked for another airline, on another type of aircraft, in another region, under another regulatory authority, with another set of SOPs. What is interesting to observe in conversation is how much they “drink the Kool-Aid” - they don’t know what they don’t know and 100% faithfully believe that their operation is the best and only way to operate an airline/aircraft. Whenever I touch on how other operators operate they are quite often dumbfounded - not curious but more gobsmacked.
‘Tis very amusing to see how consistent it is.

edit to add: the original operation is excellent but one can always learn from others - how to do as much as how not to do things…
