"...Learjet pilots are required to wear oxygen masks around their neck."

That is an absurd statement, absolutely incorrect, and inconceivable that any pilot would ever make it.

They would never be able to sell a single one if that were true. It's like requiring all passengers to wear a parachute.

Perhaps Tom Baum, a Learjet pilot instructor, who told that to CNN was a lier. I don’t know, simply quoted the article.

Crew Masks - One crew member must wear oxygen mask around his neck.

It is partially correct, so fear not.

a friend of mine flew LEAR’s for years. Above 40,000’ they were indeed required to not just have the masks around their necks, but actually fully fitted.

This was true across the companies that he rented out to.
