Think you missed this bit that There and Back wrote......

I do have a full time job which I also love however its time to move on and try something new and life is a big adventure we only live once so what's the point in playing safe all of the time?. Take a risk I say and if it doesnt work out then move on and put it down to experience..................

Not only are you extremely patronising but also havnt got the brains to read the whole post before you reply.....

Hostessmostess 20th March 2005 19:34

Fly Who
 
Hey Oz....

You obviosly dont work in marketing.....

1st of all look at the web site......

then think of the marketing lines that can be attatched to the name of the brand !!

eg...

WHO offers the biggest seat pitch to Florida !!

WHO gives the best service !!

WHO has a gold cabin with prices from xxxxx

etc etc etc

Need I go on ??????

:rolleyes:

guys/gals,
lets stop this squabbling,good luck to all of you i do hope for all your sakes the venture takes off as you will have a fab time. i had a couple of pals that did the same thing 4 years ago with a similar outfit and loved it,but i have to agree with transat hostie do be wary of such a company as my pals left very good permanent jobs with one of europes leading airlines,were promised the world and a salary to match.they had to wait 5 months before the aircraft arrived then wait for the licence to be granted by the caa.then after a few months flying it folded and they struggled to get back in the business.so if any of you do fly stay put the grass is not always greener.:ok:

Harry F Sanford 21st March 2005 19:04

Great idea, barmy name, good luck to them....but something tells me that half the posts on every flywho thread are put there by the management.
:ok:

what a sad reflection!
 
how sad that people who should be excited about a brave attempt to get something new started should have only critisism and bad comments from so many people.

what a sad refelection on the fliying community here that the best we can do is poor bad feelings into the effort.

I do think it can succeed, but not without a little more support from the trade and the air professionals in the midlands.

as for the posts being from the management, i doubt it. they readi this i suspect, but at the intereviews they said they werent impressed.

so maybe transat hostie did work for them. maybe he/she has worked for evenyone. so what. all that I see is they are trying harder than most people do in this life and may start and may not but lets do a better job being positive please!

:( :O

Good Luck to a New airline trying to start up. As everyone know the start of is a long transition and needs all the support it can
get.

HostessMostess.. Do you ever stop slaggin people off. I am surprised you are still flying with your history. If its not on this
post then its another. Go back to what you are good at... Ohh thats not alot from what I remember

There is a discussion on the Disney boards
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=708815&page=1
that Fly who have ceased trading.
Anyone know if this is correct or not?

wan2fly

yeah, it might be a good marketing tool, i did look at that before making the post and good luck to them, however i couldn't think of a tackier name! As a passenger, i don't think i would want to fly with an airline called FlyWHO!

THAT CRAZY NAME


Get real, the name FlyWHO is completely crazy and cannot be defended by resort to any purported marketing benefits that it may confer. No one in their right mind will jeopardise the entire image and dignity of a quality product by using a high-risk and extremely perverse name for the sake of some cheap by-lines to ads in the opening campaign.

That airline will have to live with its name for many years, long after the initial advertising campaign is long forgotten. Everyone associated with it - staff, regulatory authorities, ground handlers, and most importantly passengers - will have trouble with that stupid name.

It's the product of people who've spent far too long working up a business plan, and far too little time out in the real world. My prediction: if it gets off the ground and prospers (which I sincerely hope it does), the name will be changed within a year.

Are you from planet Zog???
 
I JUST KNEW YOU WOULD BE A YANK MAKING THAT COMMENT!:rolleyes:

Get a life matey

I've no doubt "FlyWHO" probably sounds great in your part of the Galaxy. But back here on Planet Earth as a name it just doesn't work......it's a lemon. In fact FlyLEMON would be better.

Get a proper name, "matey":ok:

flywho
 
well judging by their website,first flight is still going ahead 25th june.well thats when you can book for.however the disney forum seemed convinved they had gone bust.There is a disused 767 at BHX and has just been moved from the ramp to the end of rwy24/06 by the cargo terminal.There's no livery on the aircraft (its a 767) and has been there since last August,maybe it could be one of their Aircraft?I hope they make it into the skies,after all their hardwork trying to get started,they deserve to be successful and it will be nice to see more long haul out of bhx. :)

I think you'll find that aircraft was the Midland Airways/Slovak 767 which has been held since they went bust. You cant actually book on the website either, only fare quote.

As for booking Flywho, I rang them myself and was told they weren't taking bookings anymore and didn't think they would be flying this year. She said the ATOL holder had pulled out, sounds more the like financier to me! I asked about the winter schedule and the woman I was speaking too didn't know what to say other than call back at the end of October, no use to anyone is it!

Its a shame, but to me it looks like 2 years of the same thing over and over will destroy confidence totally even if they are actually bankrupt yet.

I have to agree with some of the comments on here earlier. If your thinking about giving up a secure job to work for them, I would have a word with yourself first!
