Lear 24/25

[Dr. B]

Anybody aware of any left seat jobs out there in the 20 series other than freight and air ambulance? I have 1600 hours in type, 1000 PIC.

Yes I am most willing to relocate yet I would prefer to avoid the northeast.

Any leads?

Thanks!

They have recently gotten rid of their 24's and 25's, but Averitt Air in Nashville (BNA) has 2-35's, 3-31's, and a 55 that I think they are hiring into the left seat. I left there in Jan '03, but I stay in touch with them. They are passenger charter. 800-519-4222, ask for Tom Tate or Jim Huddleston.

Thanks I will. I believe Jim used to fly for the company I currently work for, I have heard his name many times.

Creston

... yeah, there is a place that has a BIG turnover. Wonder why? Expect bottomfeeder SoFla pay and treatment too.

It must be weird flying a 24 that actually HOLDS altitude!

RVSM on a 24, that is pretty cool. Looking for guys where you work?

Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Problem is that with all the extra crap on the panel, the FO HSI is hidden behind and below the yoke and you have to lift out of your seat to to see it on approaches. Asked the shop to swap it with the Altimeter. Autopilot works just fine. Next time I get a chance,I'll take photo of the panel. It's cramped!!

When I was an F.O. I taught myself to fly by looking over at the Captain's instruments (I suppose like CFIs do). This was because there was such huge differences between the altimeters and you had to look over there to use the altimeter anyway. I found it easier to just use the whole left side, even during approaches. I guess RVSM takes care of that too, must have 2 accurate altimeters? Plus I hate those **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**ed Cessna instruments on the co-pilot's side...

Image Air manages the 24 that I previously mentioned. They're in Indiana I believe.

Try Martin Air in RIC (804-222-7401)-ask the CP or DO. They may still have some 20's but do have at least a couple of 30's.Tell em you'd be willing to go to Beech Jet school. www.flymartinair.com
