    Don't you guys just program in the destination, push "start", and then sip coffee while chatting up the hosties?

    Polite response to all the good wishes:

    Thank you very much. I’m pretty excited. It’s basically what I always wanted to do as a pilot: fly a really nice biz-jet. And the fact that we are doing this single pilot makes it even more perfect for me. :)

    Fchat response:

    FO x 355. :p

    We will still have around 15 x PC-12s doing our usual work.
    The PC-24s (we will very likely have two within a year or so) will be doing slightly different work - longer legs where speed counts for things such as organ transplants etc.

    The jet is rough airstrip capable. In this regard - and others - it is in a different class to almost all other jets.
    Plenty of info here, if anyone’s interested.

    I know. Bit of a worry if I’m in the top two!
    :eek:

    I’ve forwarded your queries and personal info to Pilatus.
    Will let you know what they say (assuming you don’t hear from ASIO before then)...

    No. I have a brother, but he’s a ****.
    Just kidding - he’s a great guy.

    But I’ve always had this fear of being stuck up the front all day with a total wanker. I don’t have a high threshold when it comes to putting up with dickheads.
    If I could choose who I flew with, no worries. For example I hugely enjoyed the ferry flight I did last year, mainly because the other pilot is an absolute legend.

    This way I only have to put up with myself, as difficult as that is sometimes..
    :D
