Getting in to flying BIZ jets?

HI all, just wondering if anyone can advise me as to the best way to getting into flying Biz jets?

Is it possible to get a job with any of the UK operators flying a citation or something like that with low hours, like myself?

I do. You might find yourself bonded for a while but that's usually fair.

The reason you've found yourself in that position is that somebody did it before you, now it's becoming the norm.

No, that is an excellent idea to pay for the rating, way to deteriorate the conditions.
I will look forward to your future posts about crappy terms and conditions.

Well, first start trawling through the CAA website for registrations, types and locations. Pop into the various airfields where they are usually located and have a chat with the pilots and engineers etc about the operation and current hiring practices.

You may need to take a job in operations etc to boost your knowledge and to get known. Be patient.
