Anybody know anything about the BBJ 2 mentioned in the `Flight` ad this week?
Interest is purely curiosity of course!
I wonder how long it will take them to process the applications from every 737 pilot in the UK, never mind the rest of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;)

Yeah, I bet there are a lot of pi$$ed off former GO pilots who are lining up for this job. Would be nice to fly a BBJ2 worldwide...

Does anyone know where it will be based - Luton, Farnborough? Will it be owner-operated exclusively or will it also operate charter services on the side like Mulitflight?

Cheers

Please excuse me for being controversial, but...I hope that the BBJ2 jobs go to established, committed Biz Jet Pilots.

Can I have a go please??!!:D

727, I suspect you have as much hope for that to happen as the ice cube has of having a long and happy life.

Even I don't have a leg to stand on. But who knows.

I can think of several good GA guys, as I know you can, who would be good at this post, and perhaps give us a jump seat ride or two.....

Most of the ones I can think of have.

If you get to 10,000+ Hours you've proved you can do it and, in most cases, you've picked up some heavy jet time on the way too.

Insurance on these things is pretty demanding on the crew's experience, so it won't be a 2,000 Hour Citation Captain!

Haha, news to me if it is! Think we'll have a period of rest and recuperation for a while!

That said though... any offers gratefully received...!

Tenminutes.....I do believe the BBJ for Signatures is the replacement for GIV N9999M. Due round about December or early January..:E

More likely this is the replacement for Jetfly's GIV. It's been a long time coming, via the original BBJ order.
