Hi Neville

I can't remember where i read it but there was some news on a new airline and that an ex instructor from Virginia (Neville Mathews) would be operationally involved and that it offered a whole new business model.

That would be Blue Sky, it appears to have died a quiet death shortly after it was announced.

Dont know where you got that from, and no official announcement has ever been made, let alone with the terms described here.

Somebody clutching at straws for some sensational news again.

If it did not start how can it "die a quiet death"?

Sensationalism of that sort is very annoying.

Quite unbelievable.

Yes, quite unbelievable that someone would give an interview, allow themselves to be identified to the press as a "spokesman", and then deny it just a few months later.

If there is no information, just say so. Don't try to make out that the rest of us are idiots, we weren't the ones with our pictures plastered in the Sunday Tribune!

My aoplogies, I was referring to AVCOM, not the press.

No intention to intimate that anyone is a fool.

There is nothing to say, and even that does not seem good enough for some.

Sorry, an IRR of 54% is just too high for me to treat as credible.

Never mind that if you could prove it to any bank they'd be all over you like the cheap suits the branch managers wear.

NW, Perhaps you can see the problem.

You have a plan to make unheard of riches, but wont elaborate.

You were previously quoted, but deny it.

Like you say:

I am not prepared to discuss details here at all.

We will deal with queries objections and complaints if an investor asks to see us, not on this platform.

Speculate and criticize all you like.

Nobody has any knowledge of the plan or the details, yet you are all prepared to pass comments that are often distinctly rude, and certainly very disparaging.

Until we officially start, there is no information available for anybody.

I asked if anyone was interested or knew someone who was. That was a genuine request. If there is such a person or organisation, please contact me and I will happily show you all the details.

The dragons didn't seem too excited else they would have jumped at the opportunity.

When do you think this business will start if ever? The article that was written in the paper made it sound like blue sky aviation was imminently starting. This is all most a year ago

Come on Neville open up, what is there to hide. Why is it such a secret

Big red flag.....

You nrm went public on this forum, your only aviation experience apparently as an instructor at Virginia, with seemingly unrealistic plans. You then get all defensive when people are not convinced....

Sounds a bit like Blue (pie in the) Sky.

Good luck on finding investors, methinks I will leave the money under the mattress...

Then you shouldn't have opened your trap. The rest of your reply isn't worth responding to.
