Wow! Hope it comes to fruition because that could create a lot of pilot jobs...

Three questions:

1. With Lear 85s and more Challenger 605s/850s likely, does anyone have a breakdown of the current fleet and the future fleet with these orders/options as it stands today?

2. Likely asked before, but how does fleet allocation work for pilots? Time on type? Total time? Specific fleet need at the time? Do low-time newhires start on the Global as FOs to be paired with the most experienced pilots or do they start flying regionally on smaller jets?

3. Lastly, are pilots being hired beyond Europe (ie Middle East and Asia)? What are those non-European domiciles? And for Europeans is it still home basing?


Cheers - PMs also welcome
