Older jets

H750,

I would not blame Netjets as the brokers were asking these questions long before Netjets were a player in Europe. It is really the big corporations whose lawyers associate new aircraft with being safer just the same way they associate pilots with lots of hours as being safer and some insist on minimum insurance levels. It is only those of us on the inside who know that some of the older aircraft are actually much nicer in many ways. It is just difficult to get this accross, you just have to doff your cap and play their game if you want their money.
