Skybus' "rules of the sky"

[Brazilgun]

Taking from the website:

On Skybus, you pay only for what you check. The first two bags are
5 bucks apiece. After that, it’s $50 a bag (yeah, so pack smartly).​

Most people love our full cocktail bar and food menu, but if you’re not
into that, it won’t cost you a penny. Why should your ticket price include
your neighbor’s dinner? That also goes for blankets and pillows–which,
by the way, you get to keep if you buy. Oh, and don’t sneak food onboard unless you brought enough for the whole plane.​

We don’t have a phone number. Seriously. We’d love to chat, but
those phone banks are expensive. And a good website like skybus.com
is even more convenient.​

You probably won’t see any agents at the gate until boarding time. Remain calm. Just print your boarding pass at skybus.com and relish in the savings.​

Yeah, we’ve got preferred seats. Sort of.​

There are no fancy reclining beds onboard, but you can pay 10 bucks extra
to board our brand-new A319 airplanes before anyone else.​

Tickets are nonrefundable.​

Refunding a ticket costs everyone, so we don’t allow it. Of course, our tickets are so cheap that it wouldn’t have been much of a refund anyway. If you need to change a ticket, your punishment for breaking a date with us is $40.

Where do I apply?:nuts: ​

Stews will make $9 an hour, and a comission on everything they sell---food, drinks etc. They won't be happy or friendly on empty flights!

Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[Jetjockey]

Maybe they can install a stripper pole in the back, now there's some earning potential. I mean, what kind of whore will they get for $9 hour?

Skysluts. I think I may have a business plane here....hmmmmmm.

 

[westward]

I agree.

Kind of like Delta, Northwest, American and United F/As who aren't happy or friendly on any flights.

 

[Avi8tor2000]

At least with this business plan they won't be around for long. It will be kind of fun to watch them close up shop after that intial wad of cash goes to the CMH fuel vendors.

 

[Thedude]

I give them 18 months.

 

[AAflyer]

No phones, and agents that will appear at the last minute. One weather event will cause havok on that system.

[A-Track]

I love how they say "Most people love our bar and food menu"

How would they know that, they haven't even flown a flight yet.

 

[Hutchman]

How does that differ from any other airline? At least this way you know that you wont be on hold for an hour.

Oh, and don’t sneak food onboard unless you brought enough for the whole plane

I would love to see them try to stop someone with medical needs, ie, diabetic.
The ACLU will be all over this one.

There are already laws in place to a handle medical needs like these. Just don't forget your laminated doctor's note.

 

[Occam's Razor]

How could that possibly cause a problem?

The Clampett's (StyBus' clientle) carry powerful iMac's with them everywhere they go. They'll simply log on to re-book.

 

[Draginass]

I think they are going to do just fine. You'll be shoulder-to-shoulder with trailer trash fatties with t-shirts, flip flops and body odor, but hey, the ticket is cheap.

 

[FLYLOW22]

Well... they reconfigured the runways and taxiways at LAX for the A380...

I guess they can reconfigure the parking lot at CMH for Double Wide Trailers....

 

[757jetflier]

Hmmm. Let me see. My taxes will pay for the low income free WiFi so the welfare crowd can make a reservation, and my crappy salary will pay for their tickets. No thanks.

Oh wait, too late. Screwed again.

That's funny right there:laugh:

 

[BIGGOAT]

I hope they go out of business! Remember Legacy Air at DAL (or whatever their name was) and how AMR sued them into non-existence. tt would be funny to see AMR do it again to this outfit.

What are they going to do? Rip it out of your hands? Idiots!

Ha ha. No doubt.

Nobody has mentioned that they truly are planning on making their money from the advertising they do on both the inside and outside of their airplanes. Really all they have to do is break even on the pax fares to cover pilot pay / fuel / lease... That actually is the scary side of it, it may work if enough pilots break down, cross "the line" and undermine and "minimize our affect" and support things like this. As far as I am concerned you'll be a picket line crosser. How would you feel if you saw the advertiser on your airplane was a HUGE FREAKIN' GREYHOUND. They have sold the second airplane skin to Nationwide Insurance... Greyhound is next. Smile guys, you who go enable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
