From: Caught somewhere in time...
I had a demo flight in a brand new. From a pilots perspective - Very impressive. Brilliant cockpit layout.

It's a clean sheet aircraft, not a derivative from a 20-30 year old design. The pilot mentioned the 777 several times - a lot of the redundancy is apparently taken from that a/c. And something about certification being up to 777 standard.

Ext. lav. service port, large heated rear cargo hold - but....NO APU! That's a very big issue I think. That and the rather small (but roomy feeling) cabin, makes a C560 a better choice from a customers perspective. But definately a pilots plane.

And the price tag is 9M$...you can get a lot of midsize jets for that money. But again thats for the investor to decide.

But to answer your question, I'd definately go for the job. But depends on your other choices...
