I agree with James. Congrats on getting the Lear gig, it's definitely a cool job for low time. But as you said, 200 hours/year is not going to work for you long term if that's your goal.

Some questions.... Are you happy where you are at now? Is the pay/QOL/domicile good? Is there a reason besides time building you want to leave?

It is reasonable to get on with another charter or corporate job... but that's on you. In your current line of aviation, everything is networking as I'm sure your figuring out (and might be how you got your current job). Is there any chance you can get a PIC type in the a/c? In my opinion the SIC type isn't worth too much.

Best advice... network network network. Talk to people at every FBO, every ramp, hang out your own ramp/FBO and talk around. Keep an open mind. Try to find air ambulance gigs etc. However, keep in mind the longer you stay out of the 121 (commercial airline) world, the harder it will be to break in.

Good luck.
