Biz Jets & Boating

[Guest]

Q: How many of you here actually use corporate jets - any?
Is it the price that puts you off?
If they were say 30% cheaper would you use them?
Really appreciate any useful info and real life experiences.

Cheers

Friend of mine flys them for a living - - - I never know where he is ...
Still he is going to take me up in a plane as a birthday present -I should get to take a picture of my house .... That will be in a light aircraft - ever tried taking a picture out of the window at 300 mph ???
His is a Gulfstream Mk ??

I am not sure my company has a company jet, but one day when it was raining I was allowed to use the company bicycle and umbrella to go between two buildings.

I feel quite priviliged!

Yes, rarely, for business - A citation something or other, 7 seats, twin jet engines. Cost loads, would still be rare use even if 30% cheaper. Can see how elton John burns thru several £mill pa in these things. Also once for personal use to SoF, also a 7 seater, twin turbo prop, split cost with someone else so quite reasonably priced per seat. If 30% cheaper would be very attractive £ per seat, if you can fill it or nearly fill it

It may be just me but I get the feeling that every post you make on the board has commercial undertones.

I presume you are looking at some form of private jet charter business.

If I am wrong then please accept my appologies but I don't think I am.

All IMHO of course

Re: a bit

yes obviously the price is the main drawback. Same reason I don't have new ferraris every month and throw them away when they break . So what is Nickster's ace idea?
