Is the G-150 DOA?????????

[squonk]

Heard from a little bird that heard from a BIG bird that the 150 is no mo. Any other birdies chirp'n out there?

I doubt it... They need every jet they can get their hands on........ If they bought a POS like the 400xp then they are going to buy the g150

Ain't that the truth.... What amazes me even more is the fact that they can sucker in enough people that are willing to pony up $812,500 for an eighth share to keep them in the air.

I heard the same thing about the 2000EX was being replaced by 900EX's. Any truth to that rumor?

My birdie has the source as the Big Bird himself (RTS) giving a brief in recurrent. If that is the case then is this just more gouge the pilots or an honest assesment of things to come?

I heard the same thing. 150 is delayed. I have also heard we are not taking any more 400xp's till next year.

I also hear that we are planning to have 4000+ pilots by 2010. Not sure what they are going to be flying, but the way scheduling works, we can just help the hotel industry.

Hmmm..... RTS never met a jet he didn't like, including the original POS the 400..... Now I heard that there was something about not making climb gradient numbers and so on. But talking to a Gulfstream sales geek he claims that the 150 is beating all the numbers. What else whould he say???

 

[DO-82 driver]

That's right it can beat all the numbers...no problem....it'll make a solid 1.8% out of JFK in January.....

That's shatters the 1.6% required.....

I thought I read that the US-based 400XPs were eventually being shifted to Netjets Europe?

i hear the air is better in europe

The air might be better, but it is certainly getting more confusing over there! Especially some of the STARS.

 

[Diesel]

yeah no kidding especially when they change the star at the last second. One star with 6 different Alpha's and another 3 Bravo's. Never seen so many pages on an fms.

Heard it from the Head Cheese Himself..... DOA...take it for what it is worth from that Source......but, he did say that to us in recurrent.
At least lunch was good....

He shot that one down too...in a roundabout way... but left openings for the 7X.. when it came to the Dassault questions.. he was slightly vaguer than his usual.

I think that we are getting 7 this year....
