Can one safely and legally fly the Hawker XP from the East Coast to Europe with an inoperative APU?

Gulfstream 200 said:Now, why as a pax would you fly your Hawker to Europe when Virgin First Class is about 100X more comfy...thats the question...
English said:My friend just interviewed for a position where the curent flight crew is being fired for not flying their aircraft to Europe because of an inop APU. Neither of us know anything about the Hawker so we are trying to determine if the owner is a reasonable person to work for. It seemed a little harsh to me that the owner was just outright firing both of his current crewmembers.

Flying Illini said:Getting fired b/c of safety concerns (for themselves AND the owner) is a pretty raw deal.
No it isn't. They got fired because they were stupid. The crew should know better than try to be a bunch of hot dogs going across the Atlantic with an inop APU. I know most owners would can their crew if they caught them flying the airplane in a condition that was unsafe.....I would if I was an owner!
Hawker XP APU provides power for electrical system and if need be, air conditioning for the cabin. Maybe I ask for too much, however, an operative APU for an Atlantic crossing is required equipment for me.
