Some funny reading to pass the time for those interested: (picked up in the middle)
Avatar won’t have that. It will have far too many seats and will bleed out all too quickly unless it can start charging a lot more for those seats. So far its grand plan is to do all kinds of promotional stuff with advertisers to generate revenue. It’s just not going to happen for a small airline that nobody cares about.
Maybe travel agents can help generate demand? Nope. Avatar is actually going to charge travel agents for the right to book on the airline. But what that gets is the ability to reserve seats and not provide a name until 48 hours prior to departure. What the heck…
The route map only starts to look goofier as the airline grows. Take a look at the Indiegogo presentation. The airline will just keep running more airplanes on similar routes (Orlando instead of Miami, for instance). By year two, they run out of ideas. They want to fly a 747 from Vegas to Albuquerque and on to Orlando. This is amazing.
And how are the people of Avatar going to make all this happen? Well they aren’t, because they’ve been trying to do the same thing for years and nobody buys this plan. But now they’re hoping to tap into the kindness of the ignorant public. Do you want to help Avatar reach its $5 million goal?
At last check, there were 2 donors who had chipped in $5 each. The airline is almost there. It says it wants the money to market its $300 million equity offering. Though I find myself wondering if they’ll end up having to use the money to pay DOT fines instead.
Avatar isn’t an airline at this point, but it’s offering perks to people who pay, and that sounds like they’re selling a product. That’s not allowed. For example, if you donate $3,000 you become a Founders Club member. That includes access to early boarding, lounges, and upgrades when the airline is flying. Does that sound similar to when California Pacific People Express got in trouble for selling frequent flier program membership before it started flying? Sounds like Avatar is walking quite the fine line here.
Some of the other things you can get are downright awesome.
For $2,000 you can be Executive Vice President for a day. I’d pick any day I’d be able to get the airline shut down so that investors don’t lose any more money than they already had.
For $9,750 you can be a Captain for a weekend in Miami. Fortunately, this doesn’t actually allow you to fly an airplane. You just get ground and simulator training.
For $5,000, you can have the privilege of interviewing to be a Captain with the airline. This doesn’t mean you get the job. It just means you can interview. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
For only $375, you can interview to be a flight attendant. I’m not sure these guys realize that there’s more of a pilot shortage than a flight attendant shortage.
In short, this Indigogo campaign is just awesome. I’m tempted to give $25 just to get the t-shirt. (I really want the model but there’s no way I’m paying $1,250 for that.) If anyone out there is giving more than $25, let’s hear why. I have a bridge I’d like to sell you.
