Congrats...

what's the word on hiring this year? I'm curious to know how many classes are running per month...

The beechjet is a pretty fun airplane.. I got about 500 hrs on it from another company. It does the usual .76-.78, climbs to 410 as good as the next plane, and is pretty easy to land compared to a "X"... I'm counting on upgrading to the 400 (maybe in the next 4-5 years) and really won't mind if it's the beechjet.

Having no APU stinks, but it will start using just batteries if ya need to in a pinch...

It is loud from the outside also, I had to open the cabin door once with an engine running and it was maybe the loudest whine I've ever heard...

The range stinks once you get above around 3 pax...

Got the call today also. Apr 28 for indoc and will fly the Sovereign. Yeah I know, better hit the gym and lift some weights. Not my first choice but still looking forward to it.

That's great, Helm! Congrats to you and your family.

 

[Helmsalee]

Thanks.

 

[netjetwife]

You're welcome--in both ways.

Good for you. I hear the Sovereign fleet is pretty busy but the airplane offers some exhilerating performance - I think I heard it climbs like a bat out of he!!... Nice Primus Epic cockpit like this:

It's a real nice looking airplane too. Sure, it has baggage space, but I hear not everyone uses it to its full capacity. You can stuff a lot of bags into the cabin of an Ultra if you want to as well. Regardless, it should be fun.
