Would you get the benefit of both worlds there so to say? (Both good T&C, and strict SOPs while flying a bizjet?)
Many thanks,

Here are my thoughts about the Lears @ Ryanair:
You will fly very little hours and are always on standby. They fly spare parts with those learjets. So you will only fly to the Ryanair Airports, you won't have any VIP Passenger experience. This job is not good to boost your career and flight hours. I don't think - apart from the (old) rating - it will give you any advantage over flying the 737 and get hours faster.
