Hey, to each is own. I perfer hot looking blones, but I see thousands of fat chicks that are pregenant each day.
Gulfstream 200 said:haha, good one G100!......now you enjoy the ride at 280 with the ice on!, really, it will get better in an hour or so when that slug gets lighter..
As for planes -- yes, bigger and more power is always better......
those that disagree, usually fly Falcons.

Gulfstream 200 said:no those speed differences make a NY-London run about 15-30 mins difference....but when the boss comes up front and asks how fast we are going and you say ".76"...he equates that to about 500mph difference as compared to .82 or .85.
Yes, they know the facts, but comparing their valuable time to aircraft shortcomings or fuel savings is a recipe for disaster IMHO.
Run it as fast as possible unless needing to Long Range to avoid a fuel stop.
next time your boss asks you why you are going slow say "eh, whats the difference boss, its just another 15-30 minutes".

stop thinking like a regional airplane pilot man!
airframe cycles??!! what do you do - run that hunk of crap between Newark and Cleveland 37X a day?
Gulfstream 200 said:ya know what, forget it, Im going to pitch those new Legacys to the boss because you know -- I never flew one (Im ignorant)....I CAN, however, say I have flown ON a few with Continental Express (and other fine outfits)....that was really impressive. The quiet cabin, the roomy interior....the quality and value I felt...

One city pair we are looking at is 3100nm.
Legacy = 7.2 hrs
At .82+ in the G and DA the same city pair is covered in 6.4
Putting aside the fact that that leg would be nearly at the range limit in the L (depending upon WX), it's not so much the 1 hr time savings, but one less additional hr of operational costs.
That adds up over time, and looking at the long term, the G has the edge on a cost per hour basis.

And it *IS* quiet. We got all the aerodynamic and noise reduction improvements the RJ doesn't.
90% of the time I don't even wear a headset.
As for roomy, good grief. I have been in lots of G-IVs and they are VIRTUALLY identical. Yes the G-IV is wider and taller but I couldn't tell the difference without a tape measure.
And I banged my head on the doorway of the G. I don't do that on the Legacy.
