Whoops - didnt mean we got a conquest (I wish..), more that $2.3M could be more effectively spent in our situation on something like that.
MakeItHappenCaptain - I dont know about comparing a low time conquest to an XB falcon.. also the $800,000+ price difference will buy a lot of maintenance on a C441 or the like and it will take more payload further in less time. Not really comparing apples with apples there I suppose.
Working for AirItalia I suppose your job is to push aircraft to people, much like every other bloke out there trying to flog me an aeroplane. Could you PM me the details of the AOC that it is being added to as I would love to have a chat to the person considering operating it. Also 3500 TBO on the rolls so not sure where 5000 comes from.
Also whats with everyone using 77kg as a standard pax weight.. Cant think of the last time I had anyone on board that weighed this, I plan on min 100 Kg per person inc bags.
Cheers,
Alistair.
