The Galaxy and Falcon have nice, wide cockpits. The Falcon also has a Flight Attendant like the Gulfstreams - that makes the FO's job a bit easier.

Hey Wolfpack,

Do you find the GIVSP cockpit comfortable on longer flights? How long before it becomes a bit uncomfortable?

Hey Wolfpack,

Do you find the GIVSP cockpit comfortable on longer flights? It sucks, really! I've gotten in the 2000, it has much more leg/elbow room. How long before it becomes a bit uncomfortable? Right around the time the Captain calls for the "before starting engines" Checklist

4-6 hours in IV is not too bad, but 8-9 and my legs ache. Of course I am 6'3, so other pilots may not complain. Now the V... oh baby, that's the caddy!

5. Hawker 800XP/PC: Not much to say but the pilots who fly these planes seem to love them. Good thing here is no inital training is done in Columbus. All sim and recurrents are in Wichita and Wilmington I believe.

That's a good reason to avoid the Hawker.....Wilmington....yech! That place is a hole. When I went there(many years ago), all the instructors I had knew of(about half of the guys in the Hawker program) were guys that had either lost their job when the airplane was sold, or ex-airline...and all were bitter and pissed off. Some seemed ready to go postal. :uzi:

Did I mention that Wilmington sucked, too?

 

[Going2Baja]

Wilmington DE or Carolina? (Too tired to do a FS search.)

 

[Semore Butts]

Hawker, as far as I know...

The HAwker seat is the most confortable I have ever sat in.

 

[widespreadpanic]

Deleware.....
What could be bad about Wilmington, NC?

 

[AA717driver]

Baja--Tell your ASA buddy to get over himself. I was a TWA MD80 Captain and I haul trash and dump coffee and the lavs, if necessary. If he's squeamish about that he'd better stick with RJ's.

Wolfpack--You'd better change your thinking about fat girls at the prom. They are WAY underrated! I agree that the IV gets uncomfortable 30 sec. after I get in the seat. I haven't done anything longer than IND-EGE but that was enough. You'll find out in a couple of weeks...

XTW--Wasssup? TC

AA van driver,
