Default Falcon 7X

Does anyone have any idea of the number of Falcon 7X's in the states? Any located in the Northeast area?

Southwestern Bell has 1 so far at DAL. Soon to be more. Not sure about the northeast.

Job? Sim job?
I have talked to them about getting a type rating. The 7X is billed as the first fly-by-wire corporate jet. I came across a lot of the aircraft documentation on the net and it's impressive. If I get a type rating I want to get it on an A/C that will be around for a while and pays a good wage.

I know of at least 6 or 7 in the NY/NJ/CT area. United Technologies, Travelers Insurance, CitiGroup, W R Berkley (insurance).

Looks like a nice airplane to fly. Certainly more advanced than your A320. Check it out:

excellent plan.... good time to be a 7X contract pilot.... what I hear, 7X contract pilots make lots of $$$. reason being, not many people are type rated in that thing, so the few that are charge whatever they want... at present, 7X contract jobs pay more than a G-550 or Global would

True cgt. My barbie jet is ARCHAIC. I remember feeling a bit depressed about it one day and then I jumpsat on a NWA Diesel 9. I couldn't believe all of those dials and switches. I felt better about my "cutting edge" technology in comparison after that.

I'd happily trade you for your E190 if you are interested... I like that HUD!
