7X deliveries

[LR45JI]

I have no idea. The situation I described is one that was related to me by one of the other pilots I fly with who happens to know the crew involved. According to him, the principle got off the plane after it landed and said, "Sell that POS"...I'm paraphrasing, of course.

As to the flight department's situation...I don't have any idea, nor have I made any claim as to such.

Don’t normally respond on here, but:
Absolutely, NOT true.

Aircraft was for sale months before said flight.

Other aircraft for sale are part of a strategically planned fleet reduction from June 2008.

Due to this malfunction are the getting rid of all their Falcons?

Not as long as their current DO is there. He thinks Falcons are infallible.

Was always so funny listening to him prattle on about Falcons in meetings and how great they were. All the ex-Canadair, Gulfstream, and Embraer drivers would give each other funny looks when he did it.

Again, not hatin'. If Falcons work for them that's fine with me. I always found the Falcon lovefest completely bizarre for numerous reasons. I figured the 7X was major overkill, too. I dunno. Seemed like ego over operational necessity but I could be wrong.

What I want to know is the fate of the next one. Is it going to be dumped?

... (P)art of a strategically planned fleet reduction from June 2008.

Oh that is priceless.


"Reason for Leaving Previous Job: 'Part of a strategically planned fleet reduction.' "

HA HA! That's awesome.

Shoot, the principle wanted it sold long before that I was told...


There are some really good folks there. I hope they don't get hosed like the rest of this industry.

It is getting ugly out there.
