Aircomplane.com™
On Monday, November 20th 2006, airline passengers will have a new voice – their own. And they will have a new forum to speak through – Aircomplane.com™(www.aircomplane.com). Millions of Americans will now finally be able to get the last word(s) on their airline experiences.
And we expect the airlines, and all of America, to be listening.
Aircomplane.com™ is a blog, or weblog, that will not only serve as a resource for frustrated, abused, and stranded flyers, but it will also allow them to voice their concerns, horror stories, mishaps, and tips and suggestions to help other passengers. Who among us hasn’t been treated with condescension, star-class rudeness, impossible pricing and restrictions, bumping, and the often arbitrary dictatorships that have sprouted up behind many airline ticket counters by the polyester pants-wearing “I AM the supervisor” set? Phooey.
How many times, after a particularly frustrating and unproductive exchange with an airline employee, have you seen (or said) “I’m taking my business elsewhere!” only to have them snigger behind your back. They know you won’t, you can’t, and you’re only one person. That all changes withAircomplane.com™. Our voices will resonate, and we will be heard throughout the blogosphere and the rest of the Internet. We provide a sounding board, a resource, and a directory for the wronged and down-trodden. No longer will you have to wait on an 800-number voice-mail robot to speak your mind; you can say it here, loud and clear.
First, know that Aircomplane.com™ is patriotic. We will not permit any criticisms, “tips,” or unreasonable accusations or negative commentary on any security procedures or experiences related to airports, security, or flights. We live in a complicated time, and certain procedures – even if occasionally imperfect or inconvenient – deserve our cooperation and support.
Second, almost anything else goes. This is about the corporate suicide mission most of the airlines seem to be on where they deliver imperceptible pricing and reservation formulae, armies of the arrogant, and funky food (if at all). What other industry could develop such inconsistent technology as the lost luggage wormhole that sends a remarkable percentage of our belongings into the Twilight Zone? Hmm. Twilight Zone…Isn’t that just outside ofMinneapolis?
Beginning immediately after Thanksgiving (personally, I’ll be thankful I won’t be on a plane),Aircomplane.com™ will be launching a national public and media relations campaign to announce its existence and encourage contributors and those seeking help and guidance with air travel issues. One website, unlimited voices.
The herd getting heard.
