If you really want to fly Challengers you can ask 350 in the Indoc but it really doesn't matter because even if you don't get it initially you can always bid it via the standing bid sheet and recently people with only 1-2 months on the property have been able to get Challenger 650.

Another consideration is FDP. On average you can expect to make a lot more money in a Phenom or a Latitude than a Challenger. Don't bid Challenger 650 if money is important for you.
