From your post, you sound like you must not be capable of flying a G1 and are not a mechanic for a G1 (which was the subject of my post) but you feel you have all the knowledge required to make this decision. Can you share what the costs are to run 5 King Airs vs 1 G1. Could you let me know what those numbers are?

Given that 2 of our employees are 6'6" and the G1 has an interior height of 7'1" and we care about our employees comfort the King Air might be cheaper on an hourly basis but may be impractical unless they walk on their knees.

Since I must fully depreciate the total cost over 2.5 years given internal issues that you are not aware of and the up front cost of a King Air vs $450K for the G1; I think your assumption may not be well thought out. Rather than explain all the nuances with my particular situation I simply decided to ask a straight forward question and was hoping for a straight forward answer.

Thank you
