Do we have a winner?

[squonk]

In the race for Netjets Super-Mid the rumor has been Challengers in the lead...

There has been a disturbance in the force though. Could it be Wichita's latest and greatest?

Discuss...

 

[OPECJet]

We already have those. It's called a Sovereign.

I'm thinking is not about the airplane anymore. I think its about who will give us the best deal, and that means taking some of the remaining junkers off our hands

Boeing bought 8 wide-body airbus jets from China Eastern, in return the airline agreed to buy 20 777s....

NJA wants the same deal China Eastern got

(just my opinion)

 

[imacdog]

Hopefully not since getting the best deal is how we ended up with the Beech.

But nj marketing said they were the best because they weren't tied to a particular manufacturer and simply bought the best airplane out there?

 

[Newkem]

Lol

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Priceless....

I agree.

I remember a Grand Poohba saying after the Phenom deal that that had "fundamentally changed" the way we do business. I think now that Embraer has their nose under the tent the rest of the camel will come on in.

500/600's?

 

[jtf]

Out didn't start with embraer. The deal for the encore + was supposed to lead to cj4s and cessna was going to take one ultra for every two or three new airplanes. There was an even better deal for the X. That one was one for one. Embraer was only new in that they took the airplanes as down payment before we had any new on property. Bombardier followed the same script.

Rooting for the TEN and the 2000S/LX

 

[NJAowner]

my bet is from Brazil.

 

[CALRepublic]

my bet is from Brazil.

God I hope not, that'd be a disaster


I'm hoping for more Xs and the CL300

 

[rajflyboy]

My Bet is that Netjets won't announce another fleet until 2013

BERKSHIRE PROFITS: DOUBLE... I think they need to announce airplanes and start selling them to all these BRK investors who just doubled their profits!

 

[Hogprint]

my bet is from Brazil.

I've said that here for a couple of years now. It's just a hunch with me...no insider info.

Anything more you could share Owner? Or like me just a hunch?

 

[jonjuan]

my bet is from Brazil.

Doubtful.......

but you have that pesky little election this November (probably the biggest presidential election in our countries history)

 

[gret]

I would bet that Obama hopes that it will be the Citation X.

Today while watching golf, the NBA, and evening news, I got educated via Obama commercials and he said Romney outsourced some jobs 20 years ago to Mexico. Now this is enough to tick off a preacher and I'm sure that Obama's most visible supporter, Warren B., won't embarrass his candidate by placing substantial aircraft orders with a Brazilian and/or Canadian manufacturer (both of which receive direct/indirect subsidies from their respective governments) while a US company (Hawker) was forced into bankruptcy and another might as well be (Cessna)....ooops....he already did that?

OK...I guess we can forgive him as he wants to pay a higher rate of tax on his income...but first he quietly spends $1 million to lobby Congress regarding the new FAA bill so that he can fix this nasty little federal excise tax issue going forward. "Geesh, the Feds want my aviation company to pay them close to $1 billion and we don't think that tax is fair. The government has even gone to court to try and collect from us."

He should have first checked with his friend from CNBC, Becky Quick, to see how these moves would play in Peoria. He is over 65 so he may have lost a step or two according to a lot of experts.

Hypocrites...

Netjets payed over a million, Buffett didn't pull his wallet out and fork over a million.... There is a difference between the corporate entity paying and an individual paying it. I doubt Buffet's tax return will show something towards lobbying the FAA.

IMO money well spent

anybody know how Netjets did this quarter (financially speaking)?? nobody mentioned us or FSI anywhere...

Just because we don't bring in as much money as darling Burlington Santa Fe don't mean we don't need no loving...

would be nice to know how we're doing

 

[BentOver]

The report states that Netjets and Flightsafety were solid contributors to the "other" sector.. TTI had a slow second half which brought down the "other" sector..

No hard numbers this report as far as I could tell at a glance, but definitely positive rhetoric for Netjets and FSI... Does it make any difference for the employees and furloughees of Netjets? Who the heck knows??:erm:
