Yes, I'm with you! I want to start an airline. I have a business plan and cash. I won't share my business plan, but I will say it will include an all 787 fleet.

You won't share your business plan, but will you share your cash?

Sorry ... I couldn't resist ...

I like the idea about the all 787 fleet though ... kinda like a larger Southwest Airlines business model I'm guessing?

Wow! That's cheaper then a 2 bedroom house in Southern California. I'm going to buy it and convert it into a house.

Question, how much cash will be left, regardless of fleet or business model? If I did it would be based out of Minne and would have E175, 717, 737-700 (and eventually 787) It would have prices lower than all airlines, and would take down NWA for good! (they deserve, and have earned the "privilege" to go out of business) It would have more than 3/4 of the plane as business class seats. Sorta like my virtual airline +Minnesota Air ++The ONLY Low-Cost Carrier Based In Minnesota!!

I think it's the engines...22Bs from what i have been told are very problematic engines, if it was equipped with 524Bs then it would have been sold already
