Not directed at me, but I would encourage them to stay away from a 650. Cruise speed is great but that everything else would be a con. Legacy airplane so parts are a headache, usually has old avionics, poor TO performance and so-so range with thirsty engines.

People get sucked in by low initial cost but they become expensive. Guess if they know all of this and willing to deal with the flaws...

Oh, yeah... never buy a type. If they can afford a plane they can afford to pay for your training. If I see a type and no time in it the resume goes in the trash (unless its a 737!).
