    Pros & Cons of Flying the Phenom 300

    I know there are plenty of Phenom 300 pilots from FLOPS, Netjets and Executive Airshares on this board. Former coworker of mine has an upcoming interview with Netjets and it sounds like they are funneling newhires into the 300 these days as that fleet is growing. I saw a similar thread on APC...

    Flexjet replacing Lear 85 order - any guesses on replacement type?

    I found this on AINonline. My guess: Embraer Legacy 450 or 500? Thoughts? Embraer is probably desperate for some volume sales and FLOPS/Flexjet has experience with both the Legacy 600 and the Phenom. That's my guess... See article below. Any other guesses? Flexjet Moving Forward with Lear 85...

    Status of Citation Latitude for Netjets?

    I realize the Latitude will replace current airframes for little/no net fleet growth. Any update on when we will start seeing these on the line? How many total orders/options? Looks like quite an improvement over the XLS in terms of cabin comfort and performance...

    PC-12 Operator PlaneSense Orders Nextant 400XT Beechjets

    125-seat Bombardier CS300 almost ready for first flight - more orders in US?

    Obviously Bombardier has fumbled the ball big time with the CS100 and CS300 so late in their development. That said, the new CS300 (125 seat version) is "scheduled" to fly for the first time shortly and the 100-seat CS100 has accumulated more than 1,000 flight test hours. Again, late in the...

    ExcelAire Out of ISP

    Heard they have several Legacies and I haven't found much recent info on these boards. Good buddy (EWR-based Expressjet FO) is looking to bail from 121 flying, he has some prior part 135 experience on the Beechjet (so he understands the adhoc lifestyle), and he is from the Tri-State area...

    From Emirates to Virgin America - his organs were "boiling" in Dubai - blog

    I found this interesting story on another forum. I am glad that he and his family are happier now.... That is what really counts! The story is written in a very dramatic fashion (no surprise) - but maybe some existing EK or other Gulf pilots can relate to his expat family issues. I am...

    Will LGA remain the dump it is - or can they rebuild it? Article

    ClipperJet - New GIV Membership LA-NY

    Just found this on AIN. 14 seats in the GIV... Obviously Surf Air is doing reasonably well from a membership standpoint in Cali from what I hear - no doubt you can probably find enough people in those two cities for this type of shuttle. The membership model works better for cash flow but...

    What will Republic do with their big C-Series CS300 Order?

    40 orders for the CS300 (120-130 seat version) and 40 options? What can Republic do with these airplanes given the restrictive scope clauses with the legacies? Will they just sell the orders/options to a legacy? Any predictions? A new airline sounds improbable.... Looks like a Bombardier...

    Ryanair considering 787s or A350s for TransAtlantic Flights

    Ryaniar has been trying to improve its business class offering and overall service and it has at least 20 hubs in Europe from which to launch transatlantic flights.... Should be interesting to watch if they actually pull the trigger. Article below...

    Norwegian Longhaul to now base pilots in London - ALPA's reaction?

    This article is meant for the Majors forum because the majors may have to compete more with NLH on transatlantic routes if this move below leads to the approval of its route applications. The question I have is now that Norwegian Longhaul plans to base 787 pilots at expensive London Gatwick for...
