gotta a feeling 7X operators are more concerned about over-water international experience than time in large cabin Falcons...
That day rate is a pipe dream.
There is not much 7X contract work avail.
You would be out of your f'n mind to spend 45K and expect to make it back.
Yes, the little contract work that is avail is Intl.
No, the airplane is not underpowered, it can go max weight to FL410 sometimes FL450 and .85 - compared to a DA900ex its a climber. The 731 was a great learjet 35 engine. It is junk on Falcons. They could not have made the 7X with 731s.
Yes, it is about 35-40% cheaper to run than a G550/Global - but it is smaller inside.
so 7X owners are selling them left and right? oh?....are ANY used 7X's for sale aside for ones listed for more than new prices (permanently for sale aircraft?)
Always solid info on these boards....
