If you look at the engine deterioration rate (EGT, FF, ...) per 1000 flight cycles - I'll stack up a 25000 hr airline engine against a 3000 hr bizjet engine any day.

The big bizjets operate by airline SOP, and a BBJ does just fine that way. Maybe when you get to fly in a pro shop you'll understand.

(BTW: What happened to the old pilot's adage that he'd rather fly a ship in to the shop for heavy maintenance/engine change, than to fly it out after the work's done? Happens eight times as often with 3000 hr TBO!)
