Lateral Move???

[jherk02]

my plan...is to find a place within the industry that pays good and can just sit back, relax, and enjoy my life.

Amen and Good Luck.

Not anymore! Just looked at the wait for the XL/S. I have my bid for it. I am about 1500 (4.5 yrs in) and there are 20+ senior to me waiting for it.

I can about hold the 680 and 750 today. I believe many were waiting till the holidays ended to bid. I did, now I loose.

Plan on 3 years min for upgrade.

Yep, I got the bid before the holidays and I'm junior to you. You should have put it in earlier.

Yup you snooze you loose. Oh well there is always the 680. Regardless, I did not want to risk loosing Christmas, so looks like the Uboat for a little longer.

Citation XLS is the newer model of the Citation XL. A couple hundred pounds higher gross weight, a little bit more power from the engines, more comfortable seats, and some systems tweaks. It's the same basic airplane, just incrementally improved.

You're talking about in the back right? While the XLS cockpit seaets has way more articulation, the double pedestal/narrower seats, combines with a "fat A$$" makes me crave the XL seats. (But I do like the recline feature on the XLS, really helps "the lower back" on long legs.)

Yup, I'm talking about in the back. The front? I haven't flown enough of the XLS model yet to have an opinion on it, but I've heard from several guys that the found the XL seat more comfortable overall. Guess I'll find out soon enough!

Hummmm..T/O over gross or land with the low fuel quantity lights blinking.....

Let me think about this one.......

OK...I have it....land mid-way and take on fuel!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares if the people in the back want to go non-stop? I want to land with gas in the tanks.....no brainer!!!!!

 

[CA1900]

Gotcha... do you guys ever take off over Gross?

Why would I do that?

The owner can either plan to stop for gas in his Excel, or he can upgrade to a longer-range airplane (like the CE-680) for that trip and go non-stop. No reason at all to take off overweight.

Hey CA1900,

Did you have to move or do you still live in the ALB area? How does year one at NJA compare to CommutAir?

Just curious, always on the lookout for other options.


Thanks
