Default The Netjets Global Express working hard
Looks like Netjets is flying the hell out of the new Global. Looking at Flightaware the last 7 days it went from Teterboro to Paris to Madrid back to Teterboro to the West coast, East coast, and back to the West coast

2 more Globals join the fleet in January for a total of 3, the 4th one goes to NJE

Cheers

Good. Maybe Netjets can work out some of the software kinks and toss their weight around a bit to get software upgrades and final certifications made!

That's the good thing about flying the good ole G-Vs (not the 450/550s, they're still too green)... The G-Vs been around for a while... If you brake in China, the Mid East or Africa, there's a good chance you will find somebody that knows how to work on them...

The G-450/550, 7X and Globals have too many bells and whistles for some maintenance shops in some parts of the world

Our G6000 did two round-trips to Asia and a trip to SA in two weeks--it has 800 + hours in 10 months with nary a delayed trip.

I should hope that you brake every time you land. Preferably before the end of the runway

A lot of Netjets pilots complain that "we fly our bizjets like airliners"... so is not just us, flight departments too

Pilots complaining? Say it isn't so.

Airplanes only make money when they are in the air. I know it's a simple concept, but it is so true.

Not necessarily true, depending on the arrangements of the aircraft management or ownership agreement...
