An owner will spend 70 mil on an aircraft but not consider the ultimate safety of the flight? Part 91 ops you could have a crew flying silly times!
Charter ops well what’s the point of a long range aircraft if you have to stop to change crew?
Even the ACJ320NEO doesn’t seem to have real crew rest standard.
Or am I just thinking to much? Or drinking to much good Whisky while posting?
Was just looking at data on the G7500 and thought the same. There’s no chance you’ll be able to operate these jets on European AOCs getting max duties out of a 3 pilot crew as the rest facilities availabe don’t actually qualify as such.
