dac..........

 

[hammer2]

DAC, and both pilot groups will staff them.

 

[Club ORD FO]

Both pilot groups? As in some to flex and some to options, or some sort of combined operation?

That's the new rumor. Third "store front" if you will.

 

[ProFracPilot]

...yawn.

 

[gutshotdraw]

Whoever it was discovered what Sokol and Uncle Warren discovered. Bombardier is willing to sell their products at HUGE discounts. Gulfstream, on the other hand, is NOT. At least, not anymore.

Then again, you get what you pay for....

You calling uncle warren not smart?

 

[gutshotdraw]

You calling uncle warren not smart?

Quite the contrary. But when he sits on the panel at CNBC and says that NetJets picked the Globals because "that's what the customers asked for" he isn't being truthful. The Bombardier purchase was a FINANCIAL choice, not a customer service choice.

 

[doh]

That's the new rumor. Third "store front" if you will.

In order for that to occur, would DAC have to use the Jet Solutions 135 certificate for charter ops? If they have their own, wouldn't that trigger FLOPS scope clause?

 

[CALRepublic]

around wall street they would call that, "a smart financial decision"

don't you think?

 

[jetmaster727]

Flexjet my friends!

 

[hammer2]

In order for that to occur, would DAC have to use the Jet Solutions 135 certificate for charter ops? If they have their own, wouldn't that trigger FLOPS scope clause?

Yes they would. This could get very interesting.

I wonder how many Options pilots would quit to fly a DAC Globals? This could really pi$$ the Teamsters off.

 

[doh]

First we have to see if DAC is actually the buyer, but rumorwhoring is kinda fun.

Maybe. Maybe not. Ask again in a couple of years. That jury is still out.

 

[doh]

Depends on dispatch reliability. Is there another frac that has the big Gulfstreams?

I don't think there are any fracs flying the G650....

 

[V1 Rotate]

I have been told that any Globals or Gulfstreams that we may get will be used aircraft. Based on that intel, unless something has changed in the past month, this order would not be for Flexjet. Maybe DAC in some capacity, though.

 

[gunfyter]

Santulli. ?

Ya gotta place an order to get a spot in the production line if you ever want new ones. The used aircraft are needed to start the program and stand in until new ones come from the factory.

 

[Xcorporate]

Maybe TMC is going to start doing NJA large aircraft trips too. They don't count as sell offs so.......

 

[acaTerry]

Quite the contrary. But when he sits on the panel at CNBC and says that NetJets picked the Globals because "that's what the customers asked for" he isn't being truthful. The Bombardier purchase was a FINANCIAL choice, not a customer service choice.

True dat...I heard enough owners wish out loud that we'd have gotten 650s or even kept the Gs we have.

Valid point.

This reminds me of the best quote of 2013 on the fractional board: the space shuttle has been previously enjoyed, so it belongs to FLOPS! Foolishly, I didn't mark the guy who said that. I owe him a the beverage of his choice for that one!

 

[Frac Cap]

Thank you. I will take that drink.

 

[johnsonrod]

More Globals? Fantastic airplane (especially the 6000), but soon you will see them at Netjets, VistaJet/Jet Aviation and now maybe Flexjet/FLOPS/New Entity. All very luxurious. How will one operator differentiate from the others when you offer similar products/services? Pricing.

Too bad Gulfstream didn't play ball with more 550s or 650s for easier differentiation (since Netjets 550s will eventually leave). Would have been interesting to see Falcon 5X or even interim used Falcon 900LX aircraft ordered.

 

[gutshotdraw]

True dat...I heard enough owners wish out loud that we'd have gotten 650s or even kept the Gs we have.

Which is one reason why the Gulfstream 450/550 retirement date has now been pushed to 2022. At least...:beer:

 

[G4dude]

What the HECK are us Guffstream guys gonna fly when they go away? We would be useless elsewhere...
