I agree with Boiler... checking your groundspeed on Flightaware gets old in a hurry when your never home. Doing 92 or 50 at cruise looks the same at altitude. Anything can break but repeatedly getting stuck at an outstation because your flying a Hangar queen stinks.

I am flying King Air for a company that does mostly day trips... usually with an overnight every 3-4 months. Pay is great and we are treated like part of the family. Bigger/faster just means you need a bigger suitcase in the corporate world.

I second all this...,The X is fun to fly. It's fast, climbs at a higher speed than most airliners are cruising. Below 30,000ft, it climbs like a pig. Cockpit layout is decent, but its still a Citation. Can be a little squirrelly on landing / at low speeds. Doesn't like strong crosswinds. I fly SN 0001, Yes, 750-0001 Love it, but is not about the airplane for me anymore.. Is about QOL and not having to commute.. Going back to the good old CE-650..
