Having an F/A is a plus because they stock the airplane and handle many passenger issues. Most of the Captains are great to work with. Overall, very little downside on the Classic Falcons. Feel free to PM me for more info. Good luck with your choice.

Do you guys still operate "classic" Falcon 2000s? What percentage of the Falcons are updated EASy vs. the older Honeywell tubes? Although I have never flown one myself, I have heard they are extremely responsive (fighter-like) and fun to fly. Certainly nice ramp presence!!!!! :cool:

Been talking with some 350 folks this past week...

Holy Cow!!

As much as I'd love to fly the 350, I'm really leaning toward the Latitude now. ;)

Thanks for everyone's input.

Both seem like high-utilization airplanes for Netjets - you will fly A LOT on either fleet. What is the specific downside to the CL350?

Aside from the Encore and Hawker, I think most fleets will go go go until the crew or the plane breaks.

Most of the 350 guys I spoke with are exhausted.

2 were looking to bid off first chance they get.

All agreed- great plane!!

Just getting worked way too hard...

I have to admit that I am a fan of that G5000 cockpit of the Latitude:

and

It would be a nice change from the XL cockpit! :D

If you're senior to me, the 350 sucks....and it works you to death!
If you're junior to me...you'll enjoy it. :D
