Hey everyone
I sent this in a couple of weeks ago but I think it got lost so I'll try
again
I though we could have a look at adding a Newt version to the
"If OS ran Airlines" email/joke ?
so I wonder what this group would come up with......
Linux Air
Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start
their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the
runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of
printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket
yourself.
When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a
copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is
very
comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single
problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of
the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is "You had
to
do what with the seat?"
UNIX Airways
Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the
airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece
by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be
building.
Air DOS
Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and
let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. They the push
again, jump on again, and so on...
Mac Airlines
All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look
and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details,
you are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to
know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to
know, so just shut up.
Windows Air
The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy
baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10
minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.
WindowsNT Air
Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and
takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it
explodes.
Maybe.....
Newton Air
Despite the design being ahead of it's time and the method of travel
smoother than all competitors, Major manufacturer pulls out of production.
Employees take it upon
themselves to continue and refine use and operation of flights.( all craft
come in a green livery). Tickets are shared and come with their own FAQ
Astonished onlookers are heard to say "...you got here that fast in
something that size !"and
"How can I book with that Airline"
any thoughts ?
