Good to know, thanks.

That said, say I want a base that is not an E190 base, am I able to bid for said base at the first opportunity, or am I locked into the E190 for either 1 or 2 years?

Thanks for the feedback.

Worried the E190 won't look as cool on your Instagram account?

My uncle is an Emirati expat in Singapore who is buying an ACJ220 so if I can't get my free 220 type right off the bat I gotta know what my options are

I remember in the regional days Ejet drivers were logging “underwing engine time”…guess that’s not good enough for todays generation…

I remember that 😂 I don’t know what was worse, the underwing engine column in their logbooks or the fact that I was jealous they were flying a “real airliner” 😭

They can have it. I remember those days when the ejet first showed up.

”Brickyard xxxx say speed”
”.77, all we got right now”
” *sigh*…Eagleflight xxxx are you able FL400?”
”sure”
“Eagleflight xxxx climb & maintain FL400, best forward. I’m making you #1 to ORD”
“Climb maintain 400 and Mach .83, Eagle xxxx”

I loved the 700.
