Too busy running my own successful business ... We had occupancy (load factor) of 100.79% during April, 97.88% during May and, into the quiet season, we still had circa 89% during the first half of June.

My days of playing with aeroplanes, boys and their toys, are long since past, I worked for 2 multi-millionaire entrepreneurs during my time and they both advised me to stay well clear of investing in an airline business!

Perhaps instead of labouring this topic any further on this thread you might like to contact the airline direct explaining your concerns about the quality of their website. All you would need to do is collate the various statements you have already made. The work would be minimal.

You could explain that you are a professional web page designer and that your long career in aviation includes advising start up airlines. You could list your various job titles and the names of those airlines you have advised. If this were to be done in a spirit of goodwill I imagine the airline would welcome it. You would not need to charge for the service as it is already out in the public domain, but maybe they would be sufficiently impressed to offer you a commission for further work.

We all know that airline startups can be a fraught business and we may guess the chances of success are not be high. But that is not a reason to sneer on a public forum.

EDIT, DJ6 We were obviously preparing similar posts at the same time and I didn't see yours when I pressed Post.

I don't need to be paid any commission to call a dog a dog :) ... Seriously though I don't need the money and perhaps the reason that I, and others, post what they post here is perhaps that potential fare paying pax may read it and think twice before parting with their hard-earned money to an outfit that can't even put a two bob website together whilst paintshopping an aircraft image that they downloaded from a Google search :)

Or am I missing something?

Harry - all is forgiven. Feel free to unleash your vengeance... !

'Aer Southeast, an airline due to launch flights to Britain, has been selling tickets without a licence from one of the State’s air travel regulators.
The airline stopped selling flights from Waterford Airport to three British destinations after the Commission for Aviation Reglation (CAR) found that it did not have a tour operators’ licence, which the law requires.'

'In a statement Aer Southeast said that “significant progress” has been made in resolving the issue that the regulator raised in relation to its licence.'

I was working with a Saab operator a number of years back, I knew that I had seen that SF340 pic somewhere before and it only took a quick 'Google' to rediscover it.

So plenty of time to get themselves a licence!

Service postponed for the foreseeable future.

It's one hell of a balls-up, what professional airline would commence selling flights without a licence to do so?

Previously I referred to it as a schoolboy project but let's upgrade that to it being a one-man show, what I note is that there is only one spokesperson for the airline, the CEO, never such personnel as a commercial director, a head of flight operations etc., it's clearly a one-man show and if he's ignorant regarding licenses what else is he ignorant regarding, maintenance, minimum equipment lists, flight and duty time limitations etc?

Even if and when this outfit get airborne I certainly wouldn't fly with them, even Manx2 & CityWing had their licenses in place and just look at how bad they were!
