I just had a buddy look into it. He is a career contract guy, with a very good 550 customer, who is getting a 2014 650. FSI SAV is quoting him $90k.
With the purchase of a new 650, Gulfstream is giving the new customer 3 pilot slots and 2 maintenance slots. The operator only needs one maintenance slot so he is trying to cut a deal to use the maintenance slot credit towards an additional pilot slot. FSI SAV was valuing a 650 maintenance slot at $45k but they don't want to give $45k off the pilot initial (go figure)
