Good time to get in the race with Avantair bowing out.
Wonder what they are going to pay their drivers?

Depends on their ops specs I guess.
105 airframes, I'm thinking around 500 pilots? It will be interesting to see what they have to offer.
Cool plane but not the fastest bird in the sky. Makes you wonder if the reduced hourly cost compared to say, a Citation is worth it considering a trip will take more time.

Additionally, even when it's heavy, the short field and hot/high capability of the aircraft can rival most jets.
With roughly 500 hours in the 350, I'm so proud of the airplane, and it's NEVER given me any trouble at all. She's a dream.
Wishing y'all a great night.

The Pro Line 21 system is sweet. The P-180 is nearly 80kts faster and a little more roomy than the 350, but I think the KA has alot more flexability and not as maintenace intensive as the P-180. I hope this new Frac operation works out, and treats their pilots as well as their customers. Time will tell of course-
