Anywhere hot and high and you're taking just enough fuel to make it somewhere not hot and high to refuel for the destination. I does fly like a large aircraft, I had lots of time on B737, 727, and A320 prior to NetJets. Probably why the USAF uses it for training.

Baggage space is very limited. You frequently have to use the Lav area and put up a cargo net. Pax want to stow their stuff on the aisle unrestrained where it may join you in the cockpit at warp speed.

If you want to fly and not get lots of airline miles going to another jet I'd bid for the CJ3.
