NetJets X

I'll field this question.

In the Excel, most of the real owners know. I once had a pro golfer, who travels with his family, bring 2 SUVs worth of crap. As I was staring at the mountain of baggage in front of me and scratching my head how I was going to make it all fit, he came around and proceeded to tell me exactly how to load it, bag by bag. It all fit.

You guys are baggage handlers as well????

Hmmm.. Paco, you are a real smart guy huh...... Yes, we have to handle baggage as you call it, it is part of the job sometimes, there are also a lot of other duties that go with the job. However I'm compensated for it......... Are you compensated for what you do????

The X had the earliest start date, so I took that.

Smart move, it's all about DOH.

I think its called the X because I flew 10.0 block yesterday after a show at legal... and when I was done they briefed me another 10.5 hr rest....

Nice guys finish last at Netjets. I learned that back when I was an F.O. the super nice Captains who were afraid to say no got sh*t on and it made for a long tour. Those who approached it like a business and did a nice preflight and took their time made for a nice tour. A nice thorough preflight is not only prudent and safe, but will make your tours much more enjoyable and stress free.

Good work! You can wave to all of the airliners below as you zoom by... I saw one of your X's zip past me a week ago and it must have been hanging out at 45,000 ft or so. That thing looks impressive on the ramp and in flight.

As an ex-Citation X driver, I'm going to take the liberty to reply to this one. Ya, it was fun to blow the airliners away while cruising at 10,000 ft above them. Ya, I waved to them as I blew by, but they would be waving to me as they were on their way to hotel after a five hr flight. Meanwhile I was unloading baggage, cleaning the interior, waiting to get the lav service, and if I didn't have another four legs to go, waiting for the hotel van. I can assure you, the X was a heck of a lot more fun to fly than the Bus I'm on now, But the gains in QOL far exceed the loss in aircraft performance. Just remember, Keep your eyes on the prize....whatever that may be!
