I dont care what you think they market it as....nobody buying an airplane thinks a Falcon 2000 is a "large cabin"....just sit in one for 5hrs and see.
It certainly isn't marketed to compete with the traditional Global/G5 aircraft, in fact nothing Falcon makes does....and I never heard anyone at Dassualt make such a claim...Falcon lives off of buyer loyalty (largely based on market preservation) and nothing else.
You guys gotta put down the free aviation magazines/surveys and de-dork yourselves.

Falcon 2000s- 1000 ft3
G280- 935 ft3 (oh, and you should tell Gulfstream to stop marketing the G280 as a "large cabin". Read the opening header- http://gulfstream.vo.llnwd.net/o36/a...ns%20Sheet.pdf)

Falcon 2000s- 3350 nm at .80 with 6 pax

You can try and belittle people all you want, Carl. You have been doing it for years on here. I remember why I quit coming to these boards when I was an airline pilot-- too many wizards sitting in their dark rooms thinking they are speaking and everyone is listening, only to learn they are just a lonely old man hiding behind a curtain and a microphone. So much negativity on here... boys, have at it.
This kat is done. Life is too short...
