But then there is the catch all which says that we can use them any time that we deem necessary for safety reasons. But seriously thought, the brakes are more than adequate 98% of the time.

Also, countries abroad are buying these planes and hiring qualified pilots as well. But you probably need to have a subscription to know that. Or at least know somebody that does.
PS... I don't have any affiliation with the site although it probably sounds like I do. Its just that I have found very good jobs on there and I hope my fellow pilots can find the same.

Thanks for the info. I paid for that sight about 3 years ago and never saw anything that worked for me on there but maybe ill try it again. It sounds stupid but when money is really tight sometimes website subscriptions take a back seat.

There's charter operator in Kuwait that hires for its Legacy fleet. I looked them up a year or two ago so I don't remember the name. I noticed though that pt135 places here want actual Legacy training, vs pt121 ERJ training.

The only diff between a legacy and ERJ is fuel system really. Same type rating. I was hired into the Legacy with no previous Legacy time, but a bunch of ERJ time.
I also found the job on climbto350. Worth every penny.
United aviation is the Kuwait operator. I interviewed but turned it down. Could not see myself living in Kuwait 9 months out of the year.

Legacy is a very popular airplane in Europe and particularly in the Middle East.
Aside from United Aviation, there are other gigs in the Middle East that offer rotation schedules flying Legacies... Two operators with Legacies that come to mind are Prestige Jet and Al Jaber Aviation in Abu Dhabi, and I believe some Dubai operators also fly Legacies as well.
