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.

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

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.

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.
