Going somewhere? Yeah right!!
When the first aircraft turns up, or at least when CAA type approval is given, then maybe it MIGHT be going somewhere. At the moment it's all just hot air.
Balloon anyone

Hot Air
A lot of hot air hell yes
Its been interesting watching this thread develop, I met Pat Weil and helped write the original Kiwi Jet proposal last year using 733's, I pulled out of any involvement because he wanted to go public before we had any financial backing - he still has no money, he told me so 3 weeks ago, it's all a hope and a dream that someone fronts with the dosh and when you study the ERJ model he has proposed now you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realise that it's the wrong aircraft for the job, limited in capacity and too expensive to operate on short routes, OPA looked at them years back and couldn't get it to make sense, then again they couldn't make sense of too much!
He hasn't got a show in hell of making it financially viable but on the off chance he finds the capital we will all have cheap airfares until they run out of funds.
Branson umm sorry no
RI too busy trying to find a home for his J31's
Pat Weil - a ground crew specialist
at least it gives the media something to get all excited about in the meantime
