Question JetSuite

Looking for info regarding these guys. I've seen their website and some pretty dated info here on the forums. Any latest and greatest?

How many Phenoms do they currently have (I understand they have orders for 60)?

Pay, bases, days off, benefits, etc?

Anyone flown a Phenom? What did you think?

I am hearing some concerns regarding their business model but that is pretty common with most start ups. Any educated comments regarding such?

Thanks.

I know one of the training captains. When I run into him again I will ask if he has any info he can share.

He did say he flew one around California last week in the storms and it was a handful going into smaller runways with no spoilers and no reverse.

Thanks, CactusMike.

Do you know Bobby B.? He was a Capt. on the bus, but has since moved to N.M. Take care.

EMBRAER DELIVERS 100th PHENOM 100 JET

View all news
Milestone jet is the sixth to join JetSuite’s fleet

São José dos Campos, January 29, 2010 – Embraer delivered the 100th Phenom 100 aircraft, today, to JetSuite, a U.S.-based private jet charter company. The commemorative aircraft is the sixth delivered to this customer.
“Embraer happily shares this thrilling milestone with JetSuite,” said Luís Carlos Affonso, Embraer Executive Vice President – Executive Jets. “Delivering the 100th Phenom 100 jet represents an important achievement for Embraer. We hope to strengthen our relationship with JetSuite, as they incorporate more Phenoms into their fleet.”
“JetSuite is honored to accept this special aircraft from Embraer. We are delighted by our partnership, and are grateful for Embraer’s support and for the reliable, revolutionary jet they have produced,” said JetSuite Air CEO Alex Wilcox. “Our brand-new Phenom 100 jets make for a much better flying experience than our competitors’ older, less efficient, aircraft, and often at half the cost. Our customers share our love for the Phenom. When they fly on it once, they come back again and again.”
The Phenom 100 was certified in December 2008, and has proven to be the fastest entry level jet. Featuring an unparalleled level of comfort, the jet is equipped with the latest in cockpit and cabin design. It also offers a private aft lavatory, which is one of its competitive features. With a range of 1,178 nautical miles (2,182 km), including NBAA IFR fuel reserves, the Phenom 100 is capable of flying nonstop from New York to Miami, in the U.S.; London to Rome, in Europe; or Brisbane to Melbourne, in Australia. The aircraft is flying in over ten countries and has already accumulated more than 7,000 flight hours.
