Default G650 Drivers

The boss is set to trade in for a G650 soon. At least that what he says. We will believe it when we pick it up! But any who....

Looking for info from guys currently on the airframe for their pros and cons. I have spoken to guys on the road and they have mixed feelings about the aircraft.

Pros:
- FAST
- Huge wing will save you on a shuttle approach
- Trailing link gear
- Bigger paycheck

Cons
- annoying and time-consuming preflight checks
- less automation (coming from a previous Global crew who said he likes the Global better)
- 14 hr endurance

Any other operational thoughts are appreciated.
