Honestly, does Bill Boisture have a single original thought in his head? How he got to be president of another company is beyond me.
 
BB is obviously delusional. While Netjets is talking about fewer model types to carry, BB is saying no-deals to Netjets unless NJ and Hawker strengthen its partnership. This is coming from a company with a line of products including the 400s, which NEVER fly, and the 4000-Horizon, which apparently has an infinite time-horizon to build.
 
Sounds like Sokol agrees that the number of fleets at Netjets needs to be pared and that customer-input will become more important in terms of which aircraft remain.

Sounds like basic Marketing 101 to me. Don't let manufacturer volume discounts dictate what you will provide to your customer base. That is just ridiculous. You should have pull marketing vs. push marketing and customers should play a more active role.

You are CLUELESS
 
I'll second that..

With the exception of the king air and bonanza/barons anything that beech has built in house is sub standard.

premier? flop
4000? flop
starship ? flop ( mainly as a result of the faa)

beechjet? safe and built like a tank but certainly not a game changer
hawker ? success at it's finest on a 50 year old design
t-6 ? amazing pilatus

The 3 success stories at beech were bought not built


Compare that to cessna, gulfstream, or bombardier
