Any Known Upcoming G650 Operators? Where do I send my app????

Of the 4 factory buys I've been a part of with GAC all 4 had at least 3 pilot and 2 maintenance slots included.

Types with purchase

Not arguing types with purchase, just standing by my statement that this company is requiring a four year commitment to get the type. Some places keep their folks by good salaries and treating their employees with respect, others don't and have to use other means, such as training commitments. My questions is; have those cost numbers, 95K or 165K been verified by Flight Safety, or are they internet folklore? Seems a bit steep, even for Flight Safety.

Exxon Mobile is getting two. I think they are getting one of the first few. I was told by Gulfstream when I was there that it will not be a common type. No mention of the costs, but I would have to assume these slots are definitely NOT "free" with the airplane. The owner is paying for them inherently with the purchase price and has a right to ask for a reasonable agreement with those accepting training. Now four years??? Uhhh...... I kind of run out of things to say there. Wow.

Steve Wynn out of LAS is getting one this year. FIVE year commitment... I've heard people are actually trying to leave so they wont have to sign it.

They have to be crazy to leave!....a 5 year commitment is nothing to get the opportunity to fly such an incredible bird!

No matter how nice the airplane, foster a positive environment and you won't need to require a contract from your guys. 135 still hasn't figured that out, 91 more so.
Apparently, the FAA nixed the common type scenario due to the FBW.

If my guy got a G650 I'd shake his hand and tell him face to face that I wouldn't leave for five years (barring family illness or reduction of pay) and that would be it. He's a casino guy, too. Signing a training agreement for five years is F'd up in the extreme. What's the G650 type going to run (after the three freebies are used up), $95 grand? That's about $50 grand more than a G550 type, so make the agreement for two years. Blow me, Steve. If you have to make your pilots sign training agreements the problem is you or your DO.

That's funny right there.
And yeah, never trust a 7X pilot.
