I agree. Flex has one advantage in that it is owned by the manufacturer; we will always have an exclusive on the Challengers and Lears. Additionally, the company has many assets outside aviation which should help create a little bit more stability. (Of course, you can't get much more stable than Berkshire-Hathaway!)

There is certainly competition between the companies for owners. The 25 hour cards have probably increased this somewhat. However, I do not sense any animosity among the pilots. As long as they stay behind us at TEB!!!!(j/k)
