Maybe you meant 900EX?....and you friend is very, very wrong..

While a 900EX is very reliable, it is woefully underpowered. 731s are APUs and Learjet engines, they don't belong on anything bigger. GLEX/900EX...not even really a fair comparison as they don't compete. People impressed with the power on a 50/900 usually are coming out of Hawkers or Citations.

I may be in the minority, but I also was also never impressed when hand flying any Falcon until the 7X. They all felt like Cessna 152s.

But of course (again) if the 900EX happened to be a great job (pay and time off) it would be WONDERFUL to fly....are there really ANY bad airplanes out there?
