hi [Chris] and welcome. This is a bold first idea, but I'm afraid I don't get it, is it just performance related pay for airline staff based on customer surveys ? if so, I'm a bit concerned that already over-worked cabin crew would vote with their feet for an airline that just pays better. |

Nice idea but it won't work. Everyone would want to fly on halfbaked but then the corporate gods would decide to shoehorn more first class passengers onboard. Then it would be first class coach for all. Plus think about the mad stampede when the gate attendant calls "Boarding First Class"! I might fly with them if they merged with Hooters Air, hmmmm... |
|

The only thing I like about this idea, other than the Quentin Tarantino reference, is the notion of providing customers an opportunity to make decisions. "Don't just fly there, FICS something !" |
|

The incentive structure looks like it would work, but the economic structure wouldn't work at all. First class on many planes has twelve seats and a dedicated flight attendant, as compared to the coach section that has upwards of 125 seats and two flight attendants. To provide the same level of quality would involve hiring more people, et cetera, et cetera. |

The Airline execs can't run their companies profitably now, and I doubt they would be able to do so with this expensive service. |

Great idea though. Welcome. |

Halfbaked Air? You must be kidding! If you say anything at all, they tell you its idiotic (unless some other fool has already said it, then its redundant). Ask for food (My God, just a lousy piece of bread!) and they shower you with fishbones. You complain, and they seat you next to the emergency exit . . . and encourage you to use it. Push the button, they say. See the little duckies? Fun, huh? See what's next. Push it again, go ahead . . . |

But where else would the plane be built out of cheese and have three wings? |
