I figured this could be like a "yo momma is so fat.." joke.

Skybus is so cheap I saw them loading with RJ stairs instead of a jetway. (true)

Skybus is so cheap. They use welfare checks for boarding passes.

Anyone got another?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

SkyBus is so cheap, they did not get the option for ignitors on the engines. The copilot has to go out and flick matches into the intake.

 

[vixin]

Matches he had to pay for.

Skybus is so cheap yet people still apply there.

Skybus is so cheap...

that everyone is going to want to fly on them and those stock options and profit sharing are going to make their pilots the richest in the industry!


Don't be surprised if that happens!

Last I read Skybus is laughing all the way to the bank, folks.

I would have never thought their business plan would work, but they're filling up the planes.

And Southwest is proof that pilot pay has nothing to do with the type of plane you fly, or whether you're a "major" airline pilot or not.. but has everything to do with how much money your airline ACTUALLY MAKES!

 

[skiandsurf]

Skybus is so cheap......that the pilots have to pay for their own parking, at CMH..(not a joke).

 

[aerobato]

Skybus is so cheap....they are doing APU taxis, single engine takeoffs and no engine approaches..

Skybus has never posted any financial results so dont assume they are doing okay. I would guess not.

Has anyone posted any results after 5 months of operations?

If they're making money this early in the game, that would be amazing. I don't think you can build ANY kind of business and generate anything other than a operating loss this early in the game.
