One Pilot,No passengers, No bags.

Like Zinc Chromate said, the Premier is what it is. It does it's mission well. It is very popular in Europe as it has the perfect range for European travel.

Back on topic...

Like I said, I was happy with my FSI initial training. I think it helped that the Premier Program is small, and up until within the last year, every Premier pilot in the world was typed at FSI ICT. There is now a sim at FSI ILG.
