Perhaps some background reading is in order?

The most recent delivery schedule I've seen (this week) shows 10 more CL30's and two more X's coming this year bringing our fleet total to 40 by the end of '09. We have 7 out of 25 CE750s parked. We have 3 CL30's flying, so that's 1/4 of our fleet on a maintenance reserve status. The question is whether or not we will have to park more aircraft as they show up, or if we can start hiring again to crew the new deliveries. My personal belief is that much will depend on the economy and summer demand, but I think mgt expects to start hiring again in the next couple months. Keep your fingers crossed, but don't bank on anything.

Xojet seems to me like a stable company, i see potential there. They're like the rest of us, wait and see how things play out.

Hey XOpilot, whats your company's livery, is it all white??

This link from their homepage makes it look like it may be all white - but the Citation Xs look to have a more colorful scheme.

Thanx bud, I bet those CL300s would look very nice with that X livery. All white looks good as well, but then again this bird looks good painted any color, from all angles. Bombardier hit a home run with this airplane

Check out this one, private operator, all white.

I know you are a big fan of the CL-300. I am too. I would love to get at the controls of that airplane. Personally - I like a more lively paint scheme; but that last picture looks really good with only the thin red stripe down the fuselage.

Xojet 300
 
Oh come on guys - let's be real. The XOJET 300 is a) boring and b) stupid.

a) Because it's all white - no color at all.

b) Because they add a FAKE WINDOW at the back of the plane. The 300 comes out of the factory with six windows on each side. XOJET adds a decal of some sort that looks like a window. Stupid.

Bombardier has indicated that XOJET has deferred orders.

I see you're not a fan. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I also didn't care for the paint or "window sticker" at first, but it's grown on me. Many customers have have complimented both. You know what they say about opinions... Try to keep a little perspective.

Yes, we have deferred several orders, that's why we're only taking 10 more 300s and two 750s this year as I stated in my first post. It seems like the prudent thing to do in this economy wouldn't you agree? So, what's your point? Try not to be such an overt hater, It makes you come across immature and petty.

Do you think the 23 guys fired at Christmas will be re applying?
