Just wanted to say that I was involved in a <b>Paper Airline</b>. We received financial commitments from the State of Illinois - $25 million, Michigan coughed up $5 mil, and Indiana about $3 million... we had a private investor and was looking at a Part 121 based out West and backed off bidding on them in the BK after due diligence turned up a lot of dirt... we then went back to the drawing board before some of our guys decided to kill our project and go after TWA *koff*
So there are a few paper airlines out there that ARE legit, its just they are the ones without flashy websites.... "real" paper airlines should not even have an homepage, let alone information about what they WANT to do...
if I had my way, I'd have 15 Dash 8 Q400s flying between Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina to the Bahamas.... (( end dream sequence ))
