Default Flexjet going supersonic!!??

Any pilots currently working at Flexjet willing to chime in on this? Or anyone else for that matter.
According to their website they ordered 20 with an option for more.
Just curious...

Now that Boeing has joined the party it seems more likely to happen.

I'm not working for them, but go to APC website and look at them.
They raised the FO pay this year and looks like they have a bid system, or 8/6 schedule.
Be ready for some negative comments about them on here.
Usually from people that doesn't want to fly/work.
Me personally don't mind flying/working.
It's the career path I signed up for when I wanted to become a pilot...
I didn't become a pilot to sit at home every day!

Wildly off base as to why they receive their criticism. 1/5 of the pilot group didn’t up and leave 10-20 year careers because they were lazy.

There’s volumes of criticism for that operation in this forum, and if you just search a bit it can be found easily.

Fractional flying is hard work. Particularly relative to the amount of compensation. That point has been made numerous times, and you’ve greatly misread the tea leaves if you think that means people who’ve realized it and moved on are lazy or don’t want to work.

Ok. Thank you for your input.
I appreciate it, and I might have misread/misunderstood previous comments on other threads.
But I have worked, and am currently working in WAY worse conditions than what Flexjet seems to provide.
Plus here is an opportunity to maybe fly the supersonics one day.
Again.. Thank you for keeping the thread clean.

Wonder how the chosen ones will manage to fit in that thing. Since they are mostly a bunch of fat f#<($. Guess it will have to go to new hires.
