Well, we wouldn't be looking to get the main stream America crowd. We'd have our own little niche. I know quite a few straight people that would LOVE to fly on an airline that fun like this would be. I'm sure that our Rainbow Airways wouldn't make it to the same size as American or Delta... I think it would be a blast esp for the circuit party crowd going from one party to another across the country. We'd have to make sure there was enough bottled water and Red Bull on-board for them. The gay neighborhood in Chicago is called "Boy's Town." You wouldn't call up and ask to make a reservation from LA to Chicago, you'd call up asking to go from We-Ho to Boy's Town. :) Clay - Capitol Hill (aka SEA) -----Original Message----- From: B787300@xxxxxxx [mailto:B787300@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 10:34 AM Subject: Re: Your Airline I know a Noo Yawk photographer who would love to serve as one of your flight attendants and he's pretty witty too. However, you'd be missing out on mainstream America with such an airline because a lot of straights and families wouldn't fly under those circumstances. I realize that the gay community has a higher average income per household but you need bodies in most of your seats and eliminating a sizeable percentage of the population doesn't help. Of course if you're gazillionaires then you won't care about losing money hand over pecker as long as you're having fun, correct? Jose Prize Fan of wondering why Chicago is known as "Boys Town"?
