Britt Air - New Airline??

[bobbysamd]

After reading it, Bobby, I don't think I'd even let him mow my lawn.

Wait 'til he turns sixteen and can look for work. That should be rich.

Shall we nominate "Britt" into the flightinfo.com annals currently populated by the likes of Mr. Concorde?

I guess I missed "Mr. Concorde", but I have a feeling our boy Britt is well on his way to achieving Flightinfo.com notoriety.
Funny thing is, Bobby, I started my own little "airline" when I was 27, and operated it for about three years, doing St. Pete/Key West flights using Chieftains and a DC3. . . . I could have benefitted greatly from this board, had it been around then.

Now, an adult would know that this board could have been a useful tool, and would have acted in a professional manner . . . but a kid, well a kid barges in here hollering and screaming and cussing and whining . . . . and that is why kids should stick to mowing lawns.

I think many of you are too hard on the 15 year old Lawn Tycoon. If he wants to put together a 767 out fit, I say "Have at it". He can make an easy transfer from his experience mowing lawns to heavy maintenance planning on the 767. With Flight Sim 2000 he can do proving runs on all the international flights changing the weather and aircraft conditions. His four letter words he posted on this board can be directly transferable to many foreign languages. When he is able to drive a car, he can drive himself to meetings. But in many states he will have to be home before dark (until he is 18 when his driving privileges increase to drive after dark). He seems to have the support of the town fathers so money will not be a problem.

Go for it. You can call the airline "Turf-builder" and paint the airplanes green.



Should we tell him the old saying: "In aviation to make a small fortune you need to start with a big one"?

I hate to be negative but there have been too many "airlines" that have spent millions just trying to get set up and never turn one revenue dollar.

But, this is America and every kid is intitled to dream. Besides he can always fall back on mowing lawns if the airline goes bust....

Britt and Mr. Concorde

I guess I missed "Mr. Concorde" . . . .

He was this fourteen or fifteen-year-old who was trying to BS people two years ago that he was a Concorde captain. He was unmasked quickly after the knowledgable people here raised doubts about how he built his time, and started asking questions about Concorde tire pressures and heat coefficients, etc. He, TABExpress F/O and, now, Britt, are cut from the same bolt of cloth.

I started my own little "airline" when I was 27, and operated it for about three years, doing St. Pete/Key West flights using Chieftains and a DC3. . . . I could have benefitted greatly from this board, had it been around then.

The difference is you were an adult and this kid is . . . . a kid.

I second your comment about the board. Had it been around when I was trying to forge a career I might have made much different decisions.

. . . . and that is why kids should stick to mowing lawns.

I would not trust a kid like Britt with a lawnmower under any circumstances. Scott's, anyone?

Gee, Mr. JAFI, you sound like just the guy to be his POI.

He seems to have the support of the town fathers so money will not be a problem.

The town fathers are as much a bunch of cretins as he is by supporting him. They should, instead, put their money behind the Mayo Clinic.

I do want to say something about young entrepeneurs. Some really know their sh!t. Michael Kobold founded the Kobold Watch Company when he was something like nineteen years old. Kobold watches are considered to be world-class. Someone like Michael Kobold should be vying to be The Apprentice - except that he might have to take a pay cut!

No thankyou, I have enough headaches. With this certification, I bet the POI would go directly to killer migranes and start looking for an AK47.

Sounds to me like another "virtual airline" game that provides mental masturbation for a bunch of teen geeks that haven't discovered girls yet.

They make up their own livery, pick their equipment, and go through all these elaborate exercises, all in an attempt to escape for a few hours, from a world filled with "Snuggies" ""Swirlies" and ridicule.

Ty, that has quite possibly got to be one of the funniest things I've ever read on here! No one could've put it better!

 

[User546]

Britt showed me his financial records and bank statements, and his lawn company made over $7,600 in 2 months, $6,500 of which, was pure profit.

Sh1t boy... I made more then that LAST MONTH just off my real estate. That doesn't include my flying paycheck.

Since when was making $45,000 a year cutting lawns make you competitive in the "starting an airline" business. Obviously you are somebody that has ZERO understanding of money and how it relates to real life. I spent more then $7,600 on one vacation last year. You don't impress me talking about making $7,600 in TWO MONTHS!

Now what we both know where we stand, I'm going to give you a collective FlightInfo: STFU already!

Brittain Koball, who is running this project, came and spoke to the untire board. They approved his plan with flying colors, and he is in the process of gaining funds

Let's hope this kid understands he needs support and approval from a lot more than the Rochester City Cousel.


Good luck, young Britt, and may the force be with you...hey, wait....you could make it a star wars theme! That would totally r0x0rz!

Get over the fact that my family is successful, and your a bunch of mid-aged queers. .

Apparently no male flight attendants on Britt Air
