:rolleyes: Family Airlines; the rumor that would not die. EDIT: Looks like they found ATC and Virgin Atlantic stock footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYgpk...eature=related |
People Express
Well they may not be a scam. It's not a crime to be dreamers. If they are genuine then their marketing approach is way too naive. They do not appear to appreciate yield management.
Simple lesson .101 Remember People Express ? You'd need a few grey hairs to remember those guys and they also operated on the concept of pilots acting as dispatchers, baggage handlers etc. Not a bad way for pilots to keep their waistlines trim however. People Express had an identical approach filling a 747 and charging rock bottom prices, but then American Airlines came back swinging, offering a four tier ticket pricing strategy. AA's lowest tier matched PE's giveaway prices, but also sold more expensive tickets with superior passenger entitlements, like transferability of tickets, full refundibility for full priced tickets etc. AA's approach worked and drove People Express out of business. Even if they're sincere People Express proved their marketing approach as flawed and naive. :rolleyes: |

These people have been running their scam for more than 10 years.
The guys I personally knew who got involved with this were not slouches; they were simply desperate to get into the airlnes any way they could. It cost them dearly. And they remained true believers right until the end. Family preys upon the one universal trait all of us pilots share: the willingness to do just about anything to get into a cockpit. Buyer Beware with these guys. |
Michaels kind of reminds me of Dr. Phil.
