Cessna: "Citationair is a pain in our side anyway so we will gladly exit the fractional market for your large purchase agreement."
That makes total sense to the reason. I wonder if Flex is going to feel that with Bombardier and NJA as well...

I'm pretty sure Cessna makes more money selling aircraft than competing against Netjets

Default I sure do miss working at CitationAir

I worked at CA for 5 years and met and flew with some of the best people I have ever flown with.

It is always a pleasure to see some the guys on the road from time to time. Of course, most of them are rising quickly or are already at the top of wherever they have decided to go.

Sure miss you all...

Where have many of the CA pilots moved on to? What did you like best about CA?

I know one that went to JetBlue for a while and then got hired by United 3 months ago.

I imagine quite a few XL pilots jumped over to Gama/Wheels Up.

Quite a few have gone the Gama/Wheels Up route. However, we have scattered to the winds in many different directions. Pt 91, NetJets, Cargo, Pt 121 Supplemental, National Airlines, Major Airlines and Retired. I am sure I have missed a subset in my list and I apologize for that. It was a wonderful group of pilots, with very few exceptions, that made the experience of working at CA a great time. I am happy to have been included among this eclectic group of aviators. I, for one, miss that dysfunctional place.
