What is the Encore+ like to fly? I have a friend that started last week and there was 2 680s and the rest were Encores. According to him, they were told that most of the classes the rest of the year were going to be Encores.

Encore+ has the best avionics in the entire NJ fleet with the Collins Proline 21 system. Nexrad weather, chart display and fadec. There are currently people going back to recurrent who have not even flown the plane yet. So expect a long wait for IOE after training. It is a growing fleet which is great for relative seniority (vacation and sked bidding) And if it is near the bottom of the food chain so you will do far less recoveries and thus less work than the larger fleets. Some negatives....No APU, Greenhouse cockpit, small baggage compartment and for now falls under the small fleet rules so there is no 7/7 offered but that will change soon.
