Cruise speeds are what they are. It’s not like an airline where the cost index largely determines your speed. But you can pull it back with a favorable tail wind, climb higher, get better routing, select a runway with a shorter taxi and bring it to the ramp single engine. Within reason you can effect it like any good pilot.
I didn't understand that initially as I would go for shortest flight time that beat the fuel burn. And my metrics suffered.
Good luck.

I think DAC, or Onesky? invested in the development early on. They definitely did not cancel their order. And production is scheduled to start in 2023. I think it’s actually going to fly. I just hope it’s a money maker!

RE the supersonic order:
My previous post was 100% panic speculation on my behalf. I saw the NetJets announcement with a 2023 date and assumed the only way that would happen is if Flex/DAC surrendered their order. Since my post, I saw Flex’s reaffirmation on social media.
That’s my fault for speculating. You know what they say about assuming.
