Plane Red: A New Airline With A New Idea

I hate the TSA. I won't fly anymore until these Nazi bastards are all fired and brought up on sexual assault charges. But, as politicians are so keen to say, that which doesn't get fixed, the market will instead. And on the heels of thousands upon thousands who won't fly anymore comes some good news.

How bad is the flying situation? Hotels, theme parks and airlines have all seen double dip losses this year. True, the economy is still pretty sour but as the wealthy have done okay, these areas should not still be seeing the drop that they are. But people are sick of being groped by the TSA to get on a plane and we know this as car travel has become the new way to get around. Car traffic has gotten much worse over the past year as more and more people drive rather than fly. It may be more expensive but at least you don't have to leave your dignity at the door to get where you are going.

Unfortunately, for a place like Hawaii, driving is not an option. Tourism there has sunk for two very good reasons. One, people hate flying now. It used to be elegant and almost magical. Now it's the equivalent to a flying bus; screaming babies, fat people wedged into their seat that will require the jaws of life to get them out, rude staff and endless delays. Yuck. On top of that, Hawaii is in the midst of a radioactive nightmare that is not even being discussed by the major news outlets. Hawaii, Alaska, The West Coast and Idaho are all being inundated with dangerous radiation. We know this because independent tests show high levels of Iodine, Caesium and Strontium in the milk and water supply. Hawaii is one of the worst. Cancer rates there are going to spike huge over the next decade.

As a result of all this, plane tickets are available for 99$ for LAX. Hotels are giving big discounts and even rental cars can be gotten on the cheap. I saw pictures recently of the airport in Hawaii at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It was deserted. Sad.

But now comes word of a new airlines, designed specifically to poke the TSA in the eye and go mmmmeeehhhhhh. It will use small jets that only seat nine people, getting under the law that only planes with 10 people or more get checked by the TSA. Too expensive you think? Not really. It will be based on a subscription basis with UNLIMITED FLIGHTS. For 150$ a month, you'll be able to fly anywhere they go. Washington DC, Philadelphia, NYC and Atlantic City with plans later for Boston, Texas and even California. Imagine being able to travel in luxury, no TSA groping, to anywhere in the country (eventually). I've already signed up for when they go active as this will be a great deal. When this explodes, and it will, regular air travel will lose a great deal of business as every frequent traveler signs up for this service and the others that are soon to follow.

Check out Plane Red for yourself. I highly recommend it.
