We've got to acquire it so we can see how many will fit it.

We probably do, but if all 85,000 of us chip in an extra dollar for it I'll go get type rated.
Make it an extra $2 each & I'll join you.
It would certainly be beneficial to have multiple qualified pilots.
Not only did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night but I've seen the movie "Airplane!" so we got this covered.

It's still in the white, meaning it was probably purchased and never used, never painted. The 16 hours are delivery time and initial checkflights. It's only got six cycles on it; think six landings.
There are a lot of very low time airframes sitting in the desert and in storage facility, often bought by operators who overestimated their capabilities. There are a lot of mid-time, far less expensive airframes in storage, too.

Well, if that's the case, I'm putting in an extra hundred and claiming one of the pictured sleeping beds!!!

rkentmThat’s the forward crew rest area. It’s above the forward entry/galley/lav area.

The last picture shows what looks like a sleeping berth or some kind of sleeping area? Where is that located? Does not look like it is in the main cabin. Is there just this one or multiple for passengers?
