After years of airline flying, I've been in a Falcon 10, which has comfortable pilot seats. Now, I also have to fly a Lear 55. After about 1 1/2 hrs., the seat is killing me (leg pins and needles, hip pain, etc.)! I've tried every position on the seat during flight, a bolster for back, and have just ordered Aero Oregon's seat cushion and lumbar support. Hope it works!
Has anyone else had this experience with the Lear seats? I suspect they were designed by an engineer with little ergonomics knowledge. Or, if they are standard seats from a supplier, are these in any other aeroplanes?:{

Learjet 45 used to give me some lower back pain, usually after long multi-sector days, I fiound it went away fairly quickly after getting out of the aircraft but it was still an unpleasant characteristic.
