The Boss wants a PC12

I think a TBM would be a great choice if your usual load is 2. Let the boss charter something bigger when he needs it, and if he decides he "needs" bigger iron, then trade in the TBM.

Having just completed a market eval on the 200 vs. the PC 12, I will have to argue that the cost of acquiring a B200 is right in line with a PC12, unless you want to compare a 20 yr old airplane to a 3 year old one.

If there is a B200 that is 2000 or newer for less than $2.8 million, I would love to hear about it...

What are you flying now and do you know why the boss wants a PC12? Load capability? Ruggedness? Looks?

Or a single engine plane versus a twin.

nope but they don't make humans with two hearts.

odd analogy though.

Anybody have anything good to say about the TBM 850? Does it fly as well as they say with 4 people and a full load?
