Geez Louise!

Family Airlines has made application to the Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") for a 121 Operating Certificate and the Department of Transportation (the "DOT") for a 401 Fitness Certificate. Both certificates are required before Family can proceed with revenue operations. It expects to receive this authority by May 2009, and at that time will immediately commence operations.

Family plans to operate "ultra low fare" non-stop flights to and from high density markets within the continental U.S. and Hawaii, adding international flights at some later date. Plans include the purchase of fourteen Boeing 747/300/400's during the first year, equipping them with 539 "Family Class" seats on the lower deck and 42 "Office Class" seats on the upper deck. The specific use of this type of aircraft gives the Company an advantage over most other airlines and the ability to offer deep discount fares (i.e., one way trip from Los Angeles to New York $69, Las Vegas to Los Angeles $19, New York to Miami $49.00, etc.), that apply to every Family Class seat purchased 30 days or more in advance.

There is much work ahead with preparing various contracts, supervising outside counsel etc. Family Airlines is currently finalizing to private placement documents, one offering $10mm in common stock, the other for $150mm in preferred stock. The airline expects to begin raising funds just after the first of this year.

If you have what it takes along with the ability to sustain yourself on little of no compensation during our certification process, THIS MAY BE YOUR ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY. The position will likely require a minimum amount of your time during initial startup phase and be accompanied by a major compensation package that would begin prior to our upon certification. Work performed prior to certification or funding would be billed on an hourly basis and PAYABLE AT THE TIME OF INITAIL FUNDING.

You would leave a G200 job for this? In this economy? Seriously? Trust me, flying for the airlines ain't all that. Sorry to say it, but this opportunity is a big PIPE DREAM. Consumers are cutting back (maybe through 2010) and oil prices will eventually climb again.

Family Airlines is some kind of hussle. This operation has been pitching their pipe dream start-up for yrs.

Not this "startup" again - it comes around every few years. Either a pipe dream on some guy in his parents basement or a scam.

I hear Uppercrust is their "Virtual D.O.".

Haven't seen him on flightinfo lately . . . guess he's busy writing their manuals. :laugh:

Why the Boeing 747-400? The choice of this aircraft over others is based on consumer confidence, safety record, availability and overall capacity. The 747-400 is considered one of the world's safest and most comfortable aircraft used in commercial aviation today. The level of training necessary to be certified to fly this type of aircraft ranks its pilots among the most experienced in the industry and the elite of their profession.

What is this crap doing on the majors board?

It's a major embarrassment to aviation.

Just when I think I've seen the dumbest business plan in the history of aviation (Skybust), along comes a whole new level of dumbass.
