I found another great Challenger 300 photo. Check it out, and tell me what you think.....this airplane is camera friendly, looks great from all angles.

I was at NBAA this past week.
XO had the new 300 on display out at Executive Airport.
What a sweet machine! People were real friendly.
Wonder if it would be worth leaving AA after 17 years to throw in with this operation?
I hear nothing but great things about this company!

IMHO, the CL300 is by far the best looking airplane on the ramp. I am also partial to the P-180 and the Citation X. Here's another nice photo:

I wish Flexjet were still in the hiring mode. You certainly have a good chance of starting off in a CL300 there.

People always try to lecture you; "an airplane its an airplane" or "the people make flight department, not the airplane" and the always popular "you're lucky to have a job, who cares what you fly". Those things that are obviously true, and with thousands of guys getting furloughed, sometimes I even feel guilty talking about "the nice airplanes", but we're still pilots, some form of passion should always linger.......

And yes, totally agree, the CL300 gets my vote. Sweeeeeeeet machine

There was a lot of talk about the Global Express. NJI has a good chunck of the long-haul business-jet market, and that didn't sit well with XOJET's CEO. But all that "Global" talk was before the economy got to where it is right now, not sure what their plans are at this point.
