There's a whole ton of biz jets laid up for sale, and prices are not going up.

It is not a pretty picture and do not let anyone tell you different. I don't see it turning around in the next few months either.

I have a friend who is an instructor for Flight Safety in Falcons, and his training work is off by about 40%. He also flies Falcons for private owners (part 91) and while he used to fly a few times a month just a year ago he has not flown the real thing for a few months now! He used to make more than the majority of major, heavy jet airline pilots, but now he is hurting big time.
