I forgot to mention — as our observant reader also noted in a follow-up email. Captain Dan is Dan Eikleberry and is a retired United Airlines’ Captain. In the video, he’s still wearing his United hat and bars but chose a tie that doesn’t match.
Meanwhile, Tim Ford, the Director of Training, came from Skybus where he held the same position.
I’m telling you folks, this really looks way too much like Saturday Night Live.
I mean, on the other hand, I guess you could argue that it’s inspiring. Makes me want to go out and file a DOT application to start PlaneBusiness Express.
Maybe some of you highly successful guys who most likely work or have worked for a profitable airline should open your eyes and actually read Family’s DOT filing before passing judgement. After all you might one day be applying for a job there.
Not to rain on your parade, but I *have* read the DOT filing, and I wouldn’t go near this thing.
My Favorite part, not the YouTube video, or the humorous Route Map…no, my favorite part is those funny “Form a Nevada Corporation” Ad banners on the site…and WHO is running those ads? Well its NevadaOnly.com, which is owned by….wait for it…its none other than Barry Michaels!
