Flight Option pilot inputs please...

[T-1GUY]

I heard a rumor that Flight Options is not getting the Phenom. That they were not happy with it. Any truth to this statement????

Or maybe they couldn't sell it?

There were some issues with the first interior, necessitating some redesign work on Embraer's end. The Phenom's are still coming.

I am sure the majority of their Beechjet owners/customers would prefer something more capable like the Phenom 300. Now if they could fix the interior that would be helpful...

Wish I could say I miss FO.... but I don't.... I do miss a lot of the folks I have lost touch of from there over the last 6 years or so though!!!

Good luck and keep the faith!!

They just put out 11 pic bids on Friday.

Any word on how the initial cadre of Phenom pilots are liking the airplane?

If we wern't getting it, then management would not have just put a bid out for 11 PIC's for the Phenom. So that would lead me to believe that we are getting them.

What was wrong with the interiors?
