I can not speak for the Falcon as I have never flown one. I am guessing that what you are posting here is flame bait as almost any EMB driver will agree on one thing and that is that it is a cheap aircraft, that is why EMB can make them so cheaply because it not made as well as other airplanes.
Not flame bait. And let's be honest, most EMB drivers haven't flown anything else. When I first started flying the ERJ a few people grumbled that it was cheap... But those people didn't really have a lot to base that on. Not knowing any better I also thought perhaps it was a cheap airplane. Experience and perspective have changed my mind dramatically.
Folks I fly with on the Legacy have run the gamut. Many have flown everything (Cessna, Falcon, Gulfstream, Boeing) or close to it. They all sing the praises of the Embraer and give it deserved credit.
I honestly dont care about what airplane I am flying, give me a big enough paycheck and I will fly around a 172. Right now the GV is my favorite ride because it gives me the biggest paycheck I have ever had in aviation.
And the Gulfstream is far from a dissappointment, if I were buying an airplane and the price were equal I would take the GV any day of the week, as would 99 percent of the owners. The Legacy is selling somewhat well because it is a large aircraft that cost a third of what the GV costs.
Again if you like it good for you, but dont forget you are just the guy flying it, I would be willing to bet you that if your company got rid of their Legacy and siad that they were buying a 900EX you would be happy flying that as well.
NO MORE FALCONS EVER. Gawd forbid I have to fly a 50 or a 900...
I used to think pay would offset equipment, but after wedging into a 50EX for two plus years I have rethought that. Money is nice but it isn't everything.
Oh man I think that I was just hooked by his flame bait!
No you weren't.
You actually simply showed the rabble rousers how to craft a mature/adult response.
