I won't be scrubbing my nooks and crannies in that shower!!!
I still look for any current 650 drivers to share their experiences with the airframe despite the shower tangent!

How have things been for you?

What type of interior issues have you experienced?
How has Gulfstream been in repairing these issues?
Has the airplane met the performance expectations stated by Gulfstream?

Thanks
Interior issues are mainly mechanical issues due to flex in flight; interior doors sticking and cabinetry coming open, etc. It has been tweaked several times and Savannah has been very pro active on chasing down the gremlins.

Performance has been as advertized and better - no surprise, but we mainly fly shorter stages so we won't be seeing a drastic increase to the book numbers on performance. Mechanical issues have been few and Savannah has been on top of it quickly.
The block point software upgrade to Plane View will further smooth out the few flight deck interface issues...
