What model of each? It's easy to say falcon, but I'd choose a lear 60 over a falcon 20...

That's a tough one. Both are a little long in the tooth. I'd bet, though, that there are and will continue to be more Lear 35's running around for a few years than Falcon 20's, making the Lear type more useful for a longer period of time.

Those Falcon 20's are tough to resist, though, especially the re-engined, re-cockpitted ones.

Which one pays more right now? Which one offers the quicker upgrade (if starting as SIC)?

But what does that do for the pilot? I'd take a good QOL Lear job over a sucky QOL Falcon job anyday.

IIRC, the Lear 35 type buys you access to 31's as well. The pre 40 series Lears are all pretty similar too. I used to work for a company that flew a 35 and 55. I want to say they did training for them at the same time. Long time ago though, too much beer since then.
