Default Who thinks NJI will get the new G650?

They seem to have gotten a lot of the new Gulfstream's in the past few years, wonder if they'll get the new G650? It enters into service into 2012. Any idea when they got their first GIV/V/550's in relation to the entry date?

I think Santulli will order a few of those things soon. I read NJ owns 90 percent of the large-cabin Biz Jet market. I'm sure he wants to keep it that way. When, no one knows, but I definetly believe he will.

Wonder if XOJet would also consider buying the G650? It certainly has the funding required.

If there are enough owners willing to purchase shares they will get some. I'm sure there will be.

By the time it comes out, NJI will be NJA. It isn't a matter of if Santulli is going to get the 650 or not, it is going to be how many of them he gets.

It can do Dubai-New York, Los Angeles-Tokyo, or London-Buenos Aires. What do you do for 14 hrs. in a Biz Jet??? what if your flying buddy isn't much of a talker, then what? At least in a 777 you can walk around and strecht your legs.

I hope NetJets gets a few, and it should come here, not NetJets Europe, they already got the Falcon 7X coming.

It may be, but it's not a done deal yet.
