I'm a senior F/O on the Gulfstream fleet, I'm hoping to move to the left seat as soon as things start rolling again (IF things start rolling again).... That means Phenom 300 for me, which is fine with me.
obviously not getting furlough is my main objective right now

I'd like to try my hand at one of those.
As for me - there is a chance that I'm being moved into the L60 myself.
I stiff armed it for as long as I thought prudent, but it looks to be a question of moving or sitting around more while others are trained and now is the time for me to cement my new found knowledge, not sit on the sidelines. Your area will grow considerably smaller in the Phenom 300 and mine will grow considerably larger so we might still have that chance to meet on the road sometime. I still owe you a drink for the help offered.
Good luck in the meantime UCLA.

They are working within the contract that we all agreed to. What else can I say.....

Really fun toys! Solo jet time is as good as it gets without asking Uncle Sam for the keys to his jets.

Maybe if I get the time I'll be able to get a tour of one down there with EAS at KDAL sometime.

KAF, that is not accurate and you should know it. What you refer to was a "what if", not a forecast. It was an explanation why the bylaws were written a certain way. Either you did not read the whole thing or you just like to make misleading posts. Either way, untrue.
