I just went on a ride called Atmosfear in Liseburg fun park (Goteburg, Sweden) a few days ago and cough myself, LOL.
Had to do it about 5 times, just to make sure l really like this ride. It's not for the faint hearted either.

Here is a prmo;

Does this mean you will nolonger hijack my threads with your own inside jokes?

I have no inside jokes nor am I am thread hijacker. Unless you have proof, in which case I will blame someone else.

Now back on topic. Gees, Liam, way to hijack a thread!!!

 

[yogi]

Obviously Liam doesn't want to join our club Misha and miss the accolade and acclaim from our soon to be world-famous series. Unless he wants to, and then, well, he can.

So, I was thinking, we could be just regular normal Joes who somehow manage to attain billions of dollars with the provision that we have to start an (Australian) airline and we have one year to do it in. We could be like in our mid-late teens and have it as a like a school project. So maybe our series could be focused on that journey. Hmm.

So there is stuff about FFP, airplanes, airports, branding, etc. etc. and we have a social media presence and provide our flyees with news! And everything should be called Atmosphere (With it's sub thing in brackets) so everyone gets confused.

I thought this appropriate.

LOL. This is what our lounges look like, I mean, our, um, discos. Erm... our branding theme song.

 

[Misha]

Sorry it took me 5 hours to find this thread since I was sidelined by a bottle of wine - which fits in perfectly with our new airline's ethos!

Does this mean you will nolonger hijack my threads with your own inside jokes?

That's it - as my first act as co-CEO I ban LiamR from not only holding any position within this airline, but also flying on our airline!

*picks up phone* "Hey it's Mr. Misha. No, no, no please... no need to bow down to me and kiss the floor - we are on the phone... Yes. Yes. I am sure. Okay. Good boy. Right, so Joyce-y- I mean Alan, we need a new IT guy"

I am not ordinary dear Yogi - and neither are you.

Just realised - once this airs (globally of course) - people are inevitably going to call me "Boo Boo" :shock: We may need to change your handle first

 

[malmacdowall]

Nice airline...... Disco lounges nice work.....
Will the crew wear zoot suits and big collared shirts?

 

[yogi]

I second the ban to LiamR - I think the record will show he was usually a full participant in previous stated shenanigans.

I think though to be fair, there should be an appeal process in place where he can present to us all his good ideas and if we like most of them, we can consider allowing him near our operations on a restricted basis only.

Actually, maybe LiamR can be in charge of our secret rival operation, that works in the shadows to bring us down.

So Misha, where do we start? Airline? Airport? FFP? Other?

 

[LiamR]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about.... Without joining in on these shenanigans.... I just want to say.

You'd be lucky to have me as head of IT.

That is all.

Oh, I made our safety video:

YouTube - ‪Mile-high madness with Richard Simmons! #RICHROLL‬‏

Actually, maybe LiamR can be in charge of our secret rival operation, that works in the shadows to bring us down.

I'm actuly in charge of starting up the LCC devision. In several years I will become CEO of mainline and then turn your full service carrier into a LCC!

As is often the case with other airlines - today we may have to delay the start up by a few days... Last night's ummm... team-building/brain storming session has truly left it's mark, and the only thing I want to start up today is three nurofen and some greesy food (said food is being delivered as we speak!) - and lots of liquids - of the clear, non-alcoholic kind.

Oh god - I seriously cannot remember what i typed last night!

Meh... no more typing.. it hurts my fingers

I'm a little concerned about this attitude. We are the creme de la creme of airline experiences, the peak of the peak, the top of the top. The choice of all flyers and this is the kind of role model one of the co-founders has??? Maybe LiamR will be getting a call sooner than expected...

I know where we can start! Instead of just having a Richard Simmon's saftey video, lets BUY Richard Simmons. We can keep him in a galley closet, locked of course, and feed him Qantas dinner rolls - if he's good. We will let him out to do his safety routine every flight - then back in the closet.

We should also buy Alan Joyce, he can live in one of the overhead lockers, locked of course, and we can feed him an all liquid diet of Guinness. At thirty minutes into every flight the FA's can unlock his locker and he can DANCE for IFE! He's a laugh now as CEO and he isn't even dancing, imagine the possibilities!

And guess what! I've got an inside tip Qantas will sell him to us cheap *taps nose*....

 

[Misha]

*walks in wearing very dark sun glasses*

Oophf.

My dear, dear Yogi. We are doing this old-school - flying is going to be fun again - you have to allow for some amusement. Anyway, I was working you see, I had to check out the various wine selections that we would be offering aboard our aircraft, and checking out the music/disco options of the IFE in the premium cabins.

It's all part of my masterplan. LiamR is still banned as far as I am concerned - don't need to worry about IT - I have found an 8 year old working off of a laptop in Zhengzhou who is willing to work for chocolate bars. Cost-effective or what? If LiamR even wants to be a pax on our plane, he has to bring us 25 whales (as in QFWP1 or equivalent) to sign up to our FFP: MishaMiles (MM)... you can have your tropo/atmo thingy, though I suggest the creme-de-la-creme level (imagine two levels up from CL) should be Guru Club, and affectionately the members are all called Yogis. Obviously a yogi is a master - much like our members - but also a tip of the hat to my right hand man and closest assistant... er... I mean partner at...

Atmosphere Airways - we fly high



Now, after a 7 hour sleep, lunchthen a 4 hour nap, and now dinner - I am going to retire to bed for the evening. Sheesh.

*walks out of room very slowly moaning & groaning*

 

[yogi]

LOL, funny.

I think we should start by giving assigning ourselves positions.

My draft title is Head of Atmosphere, Head of The Experience, Operations and Logistics Leader and Founding CEO.

ps. we don't HAVE to call the airline Atmosphere. Was just a draft name for the thread, but we can use that word wherever it best fits into our needs. Maybe we will call our section of the airport that name or our lounge experience or our FFP.

Hey, why don't we call our lounge's "The Experience", then we can change it according to each airport - The SYD Experience, The CBR Experience, etc. OR we can have some sort of marketing thing that is called "The Experience" that goes from the time they get to the airport to the time they leave at the end. Like the flying part is just part of "The Experience"... ooohhhhhhhh, deep...

What about just calling ourselves, "The Experience" a mysterious amazing organisation that also helps me get from A to a far away B. It's a philosophy.

 

[Misha]

Nice airline...... Disco lounges nice work.....
Will the crew wear zoot suits and big collared shirts?

Malcolm: they will in Economy - I found a bargain basement special on outfits from 1980s cruiseliners

So Misha, where do we start? Airline? Airport? FFP? Other?

Well, we have the name Atmosphere so we should probably start with the FFP since we are on AFF - but I'll let you decide - I am more a 'big picture' kinda person

We should also buy Alan Joyce, he can live in one of the overhead lockers, locked of course, and we can feed him an all liquid diet of Guinness. At thirty minutes into every flight the FA's can unlock his locker and he can DANCE for IFE! He's a laugh now as CEO and he isn't even dancing, imagine the possibilities!

Thank you Noob - for demonstrating such enthusiasm I am appointing you Head of Recruitment - though I will point out Alan Joyce is already in our employ as my PA/Boot Polisher...

I do have requirements though: Our Chief Wine Selector is going to be TonyHancock

LOL!

George Michael's version is his chosen faith! I think we have our Senior Ground Crew guy right here

We're getting somewhere...

 

[yogi]

Let's leave Alan alone. He is busy. But I believe he has a cousin - Alain Jayce. One of his parents is French.

 

[Misha]

LOL, funny.

My draft title is Head of Atmosphere, Operations and Logistics Leader and Founding CEO.

Then Obviously I shall be Head of Atmosphere, Head of MishaMiles, People & Programmes Leader and Founding CEO. Means I do all the HR kida stuff, the PR and marketing (hence people) which includes online forums! and I guess it covers the FFP hehehehe - I'll let you run with the logistics without any interference from me - I don't don't get all that techie stuff (cargo, fleets, meh!). This is coming along nicely.

We should have matching offices - next door to each other - down to the last staple - to show the equality of our co-founding roles

I like "The Experience" and for our F & J pax we can have "The Full Experience" from chauffeurs to inflight masseuse, etc etc etc

Atmosphere Air - come and experience the experience

The Journey just overtook the destination as the best part of your trip!

(All our marketing has to be in purple. The Atmosphere is pure. The Atmosphere is clean. The Atmosphere is Warm. Purple is warm. Purple is Atmosphere)

(so, the atmosphere is actually poisonous, filthy, freezing and colourless - but we can't let Hanz know - he'll be devastated!)
