That has not proven to be a successful business model in the past. You're trying to hit a pretty narrow window of passengers whose income makes them want to be on such a flight but is not high enough to just charter a private jet, and you also need enough of them to fill enough seats to turn a profit. These days, airlines struggle to turn a profit on flight operations as it is, they've weirdly become almost a really obtuse bank as they mostly break even on the actual flying and make profits on their mileage programs.

Sorry didn’t see you beat me to it with a much better analysis…

First class is rarely full that is why frequent flyers get upgrades…

Sorry but bad business plan…

An all first class airline has been tried many many times, see my earlier post where I listed the airline names.

Never heard of any of them?

There is a reason for that.

There is no such airline.

Alaska Airlines is their name.

I used to sit in on group interviews when I interned at America West Airlines before I started my career there. If I had a dollar for every flight attendant wannabe that started their speech by saying "I really want to work for American West Airlines", or American AirWest, or American Western airlines. Of course they confused us with American, Hughes AirWest and Western, it usually killed their interview! :p

Their name is Alaska Airlines. I once interviewed for a job with them long ago, and we commiserated on how often people get the name wrong.

I'm a FF and it's rarely NOT full, which is why I'm always on standby with 20 others for one seat if it opens up.

Regardless, I never fly in the economy seats and always choose Comfort+ or better. It's worth the extra bucks.

I never get first any more when I non-rev, all the FF's get the seats.

Condor Airlines is a German based airline that mostly serves leisure markets, including several in the US, Europe and Africa. They just came out with a bold new livery, as seen on their first A330 Neo which is nearly finished being built (that is why the engines aren't on it). This has been a hot topic in the aviation community, you either love it, or hate it. The goal is to be seen, and remembered, and evoke that "beach towel" look.

I almost never fly, but when I do, I don't care what the plane looks like, so long as it works correctly and is reasonably comfortable during the trip.

I think I've gotten upgraded once in the last year. Personally, I like Comfort + just fine.

I decided early in my career I would never commute. Hearing various airline friends talk about it, I feel like I made the right choice.

Although the sheer number of dollars they're throwing at people these days is awfully tempting. A friend of mine interviewed today with Delta and they hired 19 of 22 pilot candidates.

I've ridden cockpit jump seat on Lufthansa A320 and in a RC-135 refueler, best view on the plane!
