Thats hilarious! Do you really think that is what the interior will look like? Maybe the lighting, but who will notice the lighting while they are trying to crawl across ten or twelve other passengers to get to the window seat.

Hey, how we (Boeing) present the thing and how the buyer uses it are two
different things. Remeber this, those cheap seats with no leg room are usually
put there by the airlines. More asses, more money.

Northwest Airlines is starting to charge $15.00 extra for aisle and bulkhead seats.

Most industry experts see airlines charging for soft drinks, and even charging for checked luggage by the end of summer.

If they roll this thing out..how much will a round trip ticket be?

I doubt any airline will keep this setup. Think of it as a car that you can buy
with no interior, then you contract someone else to add what you want.

I like the big windows, but then I am definitely a look-out-the window girl.

I half-expected to see Shatner in a picture.

Wow. The seat size is a major improvement over current commercial airplanes.

 

[Mr.Conley]

Personally, I would find it quite strange to be sitting in those single seats in the middle.

I also like how every shot was of first class. If you look in the back you can see coach.

anything to help pull their asses out of bankruptcy...while the CEO's still get paid millions/year and still get big fat raises and bonuses.

And...most mechanic work is going to be handled by cheaper labor. I have never flown Northwest, and because of their mechanic issues, I don't plan to. I don't want some guy who worked in lost baggage last month and doesn't speak english to be working on the plane I am on...

For years I have been working on financing for a New and Improved Airline...!
My idea is to purchase a fleet of Lockheed Constellations sitting in mothballs way out in the deserts...Re-fit them with Tubo Jet engines( to retain the prop look)...updated electonics...seating all as business class...meals and snacks free(included in ticket price..lol) Have two designations...smoking and non smoking flights...The flight attendants would be dressed in 'mini' poodle skirts with pony tails! The name designation of the Airline would be "Happy Daze" Music played would be "Oldies" only...Mark up would not exceed 33 1/3% over actual cost to run...Ceos would only receive a bonus if they performed well...No hit and run buy outs for failure...Employees would hold stock in the company and have a say in improvements and policy...so what do y'all think? Would you fly with "Happy Daze"?

 

[dmp]

Bankrupt within a year. If Hooters Air couldn't last, there's no way Happy Daze would.

Nope, I won't fly with Hooters Air either, nither would many others. Guess that's why they are going outta business.

as if you would be worth a fortune..I will base it on supply and demand...jobs are scarce no? And you are right about fly by wire...I also prefer the 'oldie' feel the wind approach...but hey that is another topic...no? And relax I have been working on this plan along time now...sure hope I don't hit the bricks before I see it come to a glorious end... :funnyface
