With the new congressional rules coming down concerning use of corporate jets for personal transportation many execs are mirroring those requirements in their personal travel. These guys are kind of in a Catch 22 situation, however. They want to avoid the perception associated with personal use of business aircraft, but many companies have board of directors imposed safety and security requirements that preclude key execs from using commercial transportation. Subsequently, a number of these execs have asked me about buying an airplane.
For those flying around 200 hours a year, fractional ownership makes economic sense and a mid-size meets their requirements.
When asked which is the best mid-size jet, I've replied, "The G200 and the Challenger 300. The Hawkers are either last generation technology that fly low and slow or are facing entry into service issues. The Citation X has a small dark cabin and has reliability issues."
Further refining the issue, I've suggested that NetJets would be the best company to purchase a fraction from because their size and international footprint offers better recovery offsetting their periodic labor issues which adversely service. So we arrive at the G200 as the best mid-sized jet.
I'm open to suggestions to improve the quality or accuracy of my counsel...
