From Sir Korsky:
have you ever flown a B with a corporate interior? I thought not.
You didn't wait for my answer.

Yes I operated the only B in the country (at the time), kitted for VVIP, one row of seats removed for extra space, for 6 years. Magnificent machine, dual digital everything, single pilot IFR, TCAS, satphone, the lot.

No unfixable cg problems at any time or load, even with heavies like Tom Cruise or Prince Harry on board, along with their hordes of minders. Judicious use of the cargo compartment and less fuel kept the front-heavy bird in limits.

For this run, my Excel spreadsheet shows 2 in the front, 3 in the middle row, 4 in the back row, 108 gal gas, just inside limits vertical and fwd.

Don't be too quick to judge, Cadet Korsky.
