I'm sure Pilatus will improve as they continue to tweak the aircraft. One example is the window shades. The PC24 shades are manual and exposed; kinda like cheap blinds from Lowes whereas the 300E shades are protected.

I volunteer to fly with you and test out your lav in flight. We can also test the air circulation and fresh air if we hit a TexMex dive before the flight.  PC24, Phenom, CJ4, Gulfstream - None are safe. I still enjoy the Homer Bucket, garbage bag, 3 mil liner, and pool noodle though only my PAX get to use it. ...funny how it usually ends up storing trash and everyone bolts to the FBO!

It makes a foam seat of sorts and holds the trash can liner in place.

Well then maybe they should sell the business to someone who does not find it too complicated.

So do we call this the Citation CJ4 Penguin after the Gentoo penguin?

I am in this camp as well. The PC-24 COULD have a better fit and finish inside, but they have always chosen the utilitarian route with their finishes. Nice materials, but very simple and plain inside from the two I have seen in person. This is coming from an owner of a 300, and I took a demo in a new 300E a few years back.
