California going east. It look like it was going to land at El Monte airport, do they still have small jets landing at El Monte airport?

A Lear Jet over Southern California is about as common as a Yellow Cab in New York City. El Monte allows small jets (and piston engined light aircraft) to land and take-off as long as they meet stringent noise regulations.

Essentially, no. You have to learn how to walk before you learn how to run. If you are interested in getting a job as a pilot, it's important to realize that both pay and working conditions within the industry have changed radically since 9/11...and not for the better. Most airline pilots today will begin and end their careers with commuter airlines and earn less than $35,000 a year as a first officer and less than $60,000 a year as a captain. This is a far cry from the days in which the commuters were a training ground from which most pilots graduated to go fly for major airlines and doubled or tripled those salaries.

Yes! Gosh most small airports allow small jets to land as long they have the resources to service it. Unless it is an emergency.

If it was flying over Pasadena, it may have just departed Burbank off runway 8 and had not climbed yet...sometimes aircraft are restricted to 3000 feet initially depending on their route and type of flight
