falcon 7X

[sleepy]

on a twelve hour flight they are all uncomfortable....but i would still rather be in a gulfstream

It is all the same to me, since I have the best seat anyway, but our senior management prefers the Falcon cabin to the Guflstream cabin (and we have both types).

Straight from some horses' mouth....

Dassault Rolls out Falcon 7X Today in France
[font=Times New Roman, Times, serif]...Separately, Montreal-based CAE announced that its training center for the Falcon 7X will be built in Morris County, N.J. The center, expected to be operational by summer next year, will also provide training for the Falcon 900EX/EASy and 2000EX/EASy.

I was sure hoping they'd place the new facility in the DFW area, but I understand their reasoning. Still, a 21-day initial or 5-day recurrent in DFW or TEB? No brainer if you ask me!

Morristown is a much nicer area that TEB, but it's still Jersey. Why couldn't they put it in PBI or MIA.

Nice to see a change from FSI. And especially nice that it wont be in F'n TEXAS!!!

 

[rice]

Amen!!!

Nice to see a change from FSI. And especially nice that it wont be in F'n TEXAS!!!

But you gotta admit, PBI or MIA would've been a nice change of scenery for most of us. All Morristown has to offer is a longer drive from most of the hotels and airports.

 

[Gulfstream 200]

yes true....anywhere but TEXAS! (err..well Witchita could be bad too) I suppose at this point my only goal in corp aviation is to never airline to training again....

Now...Morristown has some pretty good restaurants!!...a few decent pubs....

It may be a few years away but we should start rounding up the good places to feed and drink at!! (the important stuff.)

anyone know if Dublin Pub is still open????

I like the folks at FSI-TEB...a great bunch to work with. However, a January recurrent in TEB or DFW....come on now, would it be f'n Texas then? Besides, I'd take TX BBQ over NJ Italian anyday!

Uh oh, I think I just opened a can of thread redirect to BBQ!!

Yeah, I'll take the BBQ also....but knocking NJ Italian??? c'mon now....your budget must be Olive Garden my man! (haha)

Texas is simply the a$$hole of the United States.
Land of the fast food restaurant, the modified F-150, and the Illegal Alien.
I say we just give it to Mexico and be done with it.

Now don't get me wrong, I do love a good italian meal. Really, who could resist Segovia's!!! (side note, next time there, get the seafood stew <don't know it's italian name> with fish, lobster, clams, etc. Oh my!)

Darn it...where was I going with this post???

BBQ... Keep the focus!

This is all fine and dandy, but the WSofD blows the doors off this "Gulfstream" knockoff! FBW......WSofD is FBW; it's called cables which is the way of the future.

BTW, where is our buddy WSofD Driver?

Unless one of you can get me a F7X job with East Coast pay but in the Midwest, I'm locked into training in SAV for the rest of my life...

At least they have a wide variety of good restaurants.TC

Tuto Bene's closed. Chi Chi's closed (never liked them anyway). Red Lobster coming soon (not worth it in my book) and a Cheeseburger In Paradise opening soon. There is some pizza joint there, though I've never been. However, get away from the hotel and there are some great italian places. I know how to get there but don't remember their names. Of course, let us not forget Ruth Cris in Hoboken. Not italian indeed, but always worth a mention!

BTW - say hi to George for me.

Geeze, rereading this makes me think I spend WAY to much time in TEB!

Great post GVFlyer!
We have two owners who are looking seriously at the 7X and G500. The GLEX is in last place....but I will believe all of the talk when an aircraft shows up on the ramp.
