Fleets going north of 500 planes by 2023. As a military guy the schedule here is nuts but if your into it its a lot of fun, makes 121 flying look like a bus driving game! Latitude is insane, autopilot at 400 feet on takeoff to 44,000 feet and then decent to ILS intercept and autopilot off at 200 feet, didn't touch a thing, plane is crazy fun! Good fun place to be as guys are making money now!
I’m trying to figure out how autopilot on at 400 feet on takeoff and off at 200 feet on landing is “fun.”

The ONLY “fun” part of this job is hand-flying one of the best corporate jets ever conceived on a ferry leg and never touching the autopilot....
