I want to start my own airline...

M

Mr. Nevermind

Starting and profitably running an airline is arguably the most difficult business proposition in the world. By their nature, airlines are highly capital-intensive, fiercely competitive, fossil-fuel dependent, labor intensive, government controlled, politically influenced, and weather vulnerable. Few businesses have as many fluctuating variables to manage. Boeing recognizes that industrious aviation entrepreneurs are not discouraged by these facts, but actually inspired by the challenge

Dude, your wasting time and bandwidth. You dont have the cash to start up an airline. You dont have credit to get a loan for say $200 million for a few planes. No contacts with any government agencie or official to help the process. No deal with fuel distrubitors, no money to pay staff. Get a grip.


Besides , whats your cool idea. to smoke on a plane? no offense but i love herb but would hate to be trapped in a steel tube 30,000 feet in the air with no fresh air smelling nothing but herb. I smoked in a train one time and it was awful. stunk the whole place up. Besides you cant get herb on the plane with customs. No would Homeland security be too cool on people bringing matches and lighters on a plane after the shoe bomber. So nice try but you havent thought it out to well .

You need to be rich to get rich nowadays lol. Unless of course you earn your money first by illegal means then switch over into a legitimate business.

Thats how its always been done. Look at the kennedy's, made their money on bootlegging now they are one of the most respect families in the USA. The Bush's sold weapons to the nazi's. most iranians that are here now got rich by fleecing Iran when they shaw left. I know an Iranian that has a fucking landstrip at his home with pricless rugs and marble floors and has never worked a day in his life. I know a Polish family that is still living on Nazi diamonds. they havent ever worked and family has been here since the 40's. Their grandkids dont have to work.


The system is set up for the rich to get richer and the pooor to stay that way. Ever hear of an accredited invesestor? It means you have a yearly income of at least $200k , net worth of $1million and can invest at least $35k. They have access to trades and options that the average trader cant get. and the return is much higher than a normal trader. Thats the game. Either play it or deal with being poor.

Poor is really a state of mind rather than a net worth. I know people who make $25k a year and a much richer in life than someone making $600k a year. Poor and rich are relative terms. Just cuz someone makes say $750K a year dont mean they are rich. You can easily live out of your means with that income and have no net worth regardless of income. meanwhile the people making 25K a year can budget and live very well. it all depends on what you need to make you happy. Some are happy with a benz and a rolex, other are happy with a microwave pot pie and the love of their kid. its all relative

Hey Fantomas...

I came up with a good paint scheme for your new fleet. Guaranteed not to arouse any suspicion at the terminal or up in the air...

Nice RG!!

Fantomas should def. hire you to do some marketing, or at least as an "image consultant" I see big things ahead!!!

he's really got his eyes on the airline industry, and has some "renegade ideas"

I hear he doesnt like airport security very much, so we'll be able to bypass the terminal altogether, bring on anything we want, and get on and off on the runways...just like the good 'ol days.

I sure hope he's serious about this one!

Hey Verite put that ho away from 'ere!

What do you mean with all those non philosophical jokes of yours all the time anyway? I never laugh at them.

I think we can be sure about one thing here, Verite wouldnt be saying any of that to me face to face if he ever saw me, isnt internet a charming place giving leverage to all kinds of behind the scenes pussy muttering ehh? eh? :D

Anyway forget what i said!

Now i ride!

Fantomas, rumors say the Smurf community will sue your ass for copyright infringement on blue skin.

And I've got Sir Richard Branson on the line saying he already came up with that business idea, only 20 years ago.
