It might be time to stop posting these things on here. They just create arguments.

I'm sorry but, just for clarification, without any judgment whatsoever, is this paid promotion?

Did you watch the video? There was a section where we said this was not affiliated with Gemini Jets.
As mentioned, the direction of my content on here is changing following this thread. GeminiJets can be discussed civilly.

I wonder if this has ever been done? Perhaps they could create a website to store the results. They could call it something like 'Airplanes of the Past' or similar
When I did a big 400 scale survey in 2021 I got 571 responses, which at the time I felt was decent enough to draw some conclusions. I'm not sure 125 really is. One of the issues is what questions are being asked.
The results from 2021 are still pretty valid I would say in relation to Gemini: https://www.yesterdaysairlines.com/results-pt1-brands--mnftrs.html
If this survey was done today, NG and ESPECIALLY JC would be a lot lower. Panda with their recent 767 production would probably be a bit higher in the % as well. Still, I feel generally about the same with this survey now as when it was first done regardless. Gemini would probably be roughly in the same spots with similar % i’d guess.

I would say they are much worse than they were a decade ago. They have barely updated their mold catalog in the last 15 years and have been giving market blocker releases based off what JC Wings can produce from 2005. In many cases, we only like what Gemini gives us i.e. their 727’s and regionals because there are no alternatives. In the common space of wide bodies 747’s, A330’s and 767’s and mainstream narrow bodies 737’s and A320’s they are getting beat out by competitors using molds that are brand new to market with better QC standards. Say what you want but a 767 from 2005 does not age as well as a Panda 767 from 3 years ago regardless if they manage to attach an engine on correctly.

I would rather wait years before NG releases a 727 or a regional than spending 50€ on a GJ

Well that’s the dilemma we’re all in isn’t it? I have given in to GJ many times because I don’t have another option. It’s like going back to the ex-girlfriend because you have no better choice Lol.

You still consider GJ has an option?

I’m simply trying to make a candid point. Yes I can live with some of it but it we’re comparing apples to oranges there are glaring weakness with JC/GJ on many fronts and their competition makes this really obvious if we’re objectively judging tangible differences. I don’t need a survey to see the differences with my own eyes.

Honestly not sure the point of all this research into GJ. Simply put, they have been surpassed by the competition.Those clinging onto their legacy are mostly Americans, but the facts speak for themselves.
They are obsolete as other better brands have emerged in recent years. NG, AV400, Panda, and now HX make better products, cheaper and with better QC. Sign of the times...
Frankly, it is irrelevant if GJ has improved or not, they are still lagging well behind the aforementioned.

GeminiJets is undoubtably behind the competition. Has their improvements between model quality and release choices influenced my and others decisions to buy more of their products in the last couple years: yes.

If you are buying from them, after acknowledging that they are inferior to the competition, then it is bias driven and not the content I would be interested in.

Improvement includes the whole scope, including monopoly release choices. They have made some widebodies that are comparable to other manufacturers. That said, even like the DL 100 years for example, there’s a reason I got the AV400 and NG’s.

Yes comparable, but still inferior. Not sure your point mate, but this thread of yours is proving to be another waste of time.
It’s not a waste of time to me.
