Rollout Schedule for Netjets Phenom 300s?

[jtf]

The Latitude may very well replace the 680, the 800, 900, some Ten and some Excels if we get them. It's price is about the same as the Hawkers and about half way between the XLS + and the 680. It will go 2500 miles and have a nice big cabin. Maybe we don't end up taking any, but if we do I think it will be a big and popular fleet. Time will tell.

I don't mean to bring Avantair into this thread, they're already getting beat up pretty good. On that Avantair discussion, a couple of people said "Avantair is not a direct competitor of Netjets"

Well I disagree... Their CEO likes to compare his Avanti aircraft to the light jets Netjets and other frax operate. He claims his Avanti bird is far more fuel efficient and just as comfortable as the Beechjet, light Cessans and Phenom 300. He said several people left or will leave the Netjets' light-jet program for him.

If that ain't direct competition, I don't know what is

Saw the EMB-300 at Teterboro last week. If any of the NJer's actually read the Fall Owners Update that just came out, it had listings of a whirlwind, coast-to-coast, static demo tour in 7-8 cities over the past week or so.

Advanced share sales of the aircraft have been reported as.....

Wait for it.....


Phenomenal.


Badump-bump.

Nice looking plane, however I wouldn't want to be a 15 year SIC in it...

And that’s the best-case scenario.

I'll bet we're playing the OEM game, and exchange the Latitude orders for the new TEN,

Ten pilots are the only ones that think the company will die without a Ten. The decision has been made. Sorry but it's over, no Ten.

Ten and Gulfstream guys sound the same. "The company is doomed without our plane".

They seem to be the ones that ".....talk to the owner...." about this or that "....all the time". :laugh:

I keed I keed, sort of.

Never said we're doomed without it. A very prominent comedian went to the boss irate that we were disposing of the X's. Another asked me several years ago about the SSBJ, and when I said it would cost at least $100 million, he didn't even blink and said he'd buy one. Image is a huge thing to some, whether it's for bragging rights or the illusion of time versus money. The fact is we cater to those where image is very important. We'll get the Ten.
