Someone's put a lot of work into it if it's a fake.

I'm sure there's a market for luxury travel from the Middle East to N America. But I'm not convinced that it's anywhere near sufficient to justify the sort of capacity being proposed here (which radiates out onto many other routes - 747 Montreal-Antananarivo, anyone? ). I think the planned capacity is way in excess of demand.

There's a variety of interesting product ideas (I'll defer discussion of the practicality of a real fireplace or a real large bath in a 747 ) but the bit that really doesn't work for me is the statement that "we want investors, but they can have a maximum of 25% of the company since 75% is reserved for employees." If I'm a super-rich would-be airline tycoon, why exactly would I bankroll the extremely costly refit and operation of this large fleet... just for 25% of the equity?

Interesting - but don't think it'll fly...
