I know its hard but please would you mind to Stop saying infos that you have no real knowledge about.
No, the bravo and 400 will not been sold... they will be replaced one day as they aged by new type or different aircraft as usual with Netjets to keep the fleet less than 7 years old. While you seems to react on a monthly basis dont forget that Netjets strategy are long term, they are chess players, they can delay orders at no cost or switch types, they have always used recesssion in the US to get ready for the restart with an economicaly update offer ahead of the competition who dowsize so much that cannot face demand when its pick up again !! So far the 30 Falcon 2000LX are not cancel as well as the 30 Falcon 7x ,the 4000 is delayed due to JAA certification problems.. so no panic ! Historicaly during recession the poorest live the program (bravo, 400 and card holders) the midsize owners affected downsize and there is entry by the top..eg: airplane owner who found now expensive to own a whole airplane sell and come to Netjets, most of the time on better type eg: CJ owner sign on the hawker 800 for lots less etc...or Flight departement who have to make saving..the top remain unchanged 5 DA7x already sold and 2 more G5 still coming this year to cover LR demand.

Of course like everybody Netjets is affected and yes there are overcrew and the cadets are useless since day one (business wise) but its comparable with the major airlines, BA AF LH can still go through the storm with a simple cold while Sterling Silverjet etc.. catch a deadly pneumonia! it will be the same in business aviation, Netjets Tag Jetav been the majors..the day one of the 3 get really hit the rest of the industry will be probably in limbo.
