I heard a reduction of the 400XP in the US and shipping them to NJE with love. You hearing the same?

I bet the old Phenom 300 shows up here to replace both the Ultra and 400XP... they have to last until 09 though.

I think Dash Trash is referring to FLOPS - right? Those Beechjet guys are worked pretty hard I have heard.

I think he is referring to flops also, he mentioned 3+ years in the thing. NJA has only had them since Sept 2004, first class went to ICT in May of the same year. It was a nice summer off....

I would expect the Phenon 300 announcement at NBAA.

One thing he forgot to mention about the 400 is that you never know when the thing will flame out a engine or two just to jump start your heart.

Ah! Got it.

Who else in this fractional business has their management talking lay-off's and is actually going through a fleet reduction ... Um, Flight Options.

3+ years in the BeechJet, with many rotations were we fly 35-40 hours in the week. Multiple 14 hour days followed by minimum rest, forced vacations, denied vacations, hotel quality, and the list goes on and on. Not a very happy group right now.

Right now all we can hope for is "Good Faith" bargaining by the company and the possibility things will get better when we hammer out a contract.

Sorry to have strayed from the orginal thread, got to vent every now and then.

Good luck with that.... Companies won't bargain in good faith until they have to.... or are forced to.

Very much aware of what their idea of "Good Faith" entales. Lets just say, they'll see the light ... one way or another.

I think you guys will have more than "good faith" to bank on very soon.

I didn't find it funny. He wasn't answering the specific questions (mentioning actual aircraft flown). Why is that funny? He sounds like a d!ck to me.

Sounds like Dash Trash got it right.

Lighten up Francis. Maybe time for a haircut too?
