What a joke. Is this for real?
How much do I have to pay to fly the plane?

I hear you can win a ride up front if you buy raffle tickets at you local church

Wow... I read their info on wikipedia.. Thats just what the industry needs. Poorly trained flight attendants earning 9 bucks per FLIGHT hour w/ no per diem peddling SKYjunk to the unfortunate captive audience. I'll bet they won't have any trouble hiring from GOJET! :eek: Airbus time baby!:mad:

Someone told me that they expect the flight crews to pay for the drinks (even water) they drink during the flights! :eek:

They plan on being cheaper than southwest by 25%. Flight attendats get to split 10% of the flights revenue. So lets assume the have 10 passengers at $10 per person. Thats big money those flight attendants are going home with

"In order to keep wages in line with their projected low fares, flight attendants will only be paid $9 per flight hour, and will not be paid per diem. While this is considerably lower than competing airlines' wages, flight attendants will also receive 10% of all sales made during the flight, splitting all commissions evenly among all flight attendants on-board.":eek:


Ex used-car salesmen anyone?:D

How are they going to stay in business when you can fly Round-Trip from Columbus to Burbank for $105????? That's unreal.
