Haha! Silly RFDS, they obviously didn't do their research thoroughly before committing to this aircraft. 10 minutes on pprune would have been time well spent and alerted them to all the flaws and limitiations of this plane. What were they thinking.... :-)

Must be a lot of stupid people with money about, the original PC-24 order book for the first batch opened and closed in days, the same will happen when the order book is re-opened some time soon. With preferential customers fixed up, earliest delivery dates for a new customer of the company look like somewhere between 2021 and end 2022.
And, comparatively, this aircraft is expensive in it's class.
What other bizjet manufacturer has their capacity sold out, they are even closing Porter production to make a bit more room.
Tootle pip!!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - nobody appears to understand sarcasm here when it jumps up and smacks them in the face.

He/she/it was?? Maybe he/she/it should be a little less subtle ---- as is very obvious, his extreme subtlety completely obscured hi/her/its sarcasm/facetiousness.

OK, I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I didn't (and still don't) see sarcasm/facetiousness in that post... Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy...

Haha! Lighten up guys! The clue is right here.. "10 minutes on PPRuNe would have been time well spent and alerted them to all the flaws and limitiations of this plane"
The PC-12 was a game changer, and so is the PC-24. Incredible machine
I'll retreat into my burrow now, having been suitably chastised for my feeble attempt at SARCASM... :-)

I bet the sticker price on a citation with similar performance would be considerably lower than a PC24. The Cargo door installation time isnt really a factor if you plan ahead.
I only say this as I'm sure RFDS aren't made of money and the savings on modified Citation could be spent elsewhere.
Just my opinion and I'm sure RFDS did the maths.
