The Standing Airlines...
The Standing Airlines…
The Name Sounds Interesting & So Would Be The Concept…
Yesterday, while Crawling to the office, one of my friends enlightened me about the new concept that might just catch the fancy of millions around the world. It captivated me so much that I have been thinking about it all this while…
The Year 2011… Lo, Behold… The Standing Airlines…
The concept of people traveling in Airplanes just like they travel in Buses or Trains can usher a revolution in the way people think in terms of distances. And just how would they achieve this??? STANDING… Yes people standing in planes and traveling just like they do in the public transport. It Might Be a Serious Concept but All I can do is Laugh… Imagining The Kind Of Life We Might Lead If This Comes True.
Initially, the fare might be high but would come down eventually, as more and more companies launch their standing aircrafts. People would prefer traveling via this medium as the fare would be cheap and they would be able to visit home more often, Delhi to Bangalore in one hour (Currently from mah place in Bangalore to Office – 1hr 30 mins). We would be having Double Decker Aircraft to accommodate more people.
Later on, with many people opting for this kind of service, some like me would prefer a monthly “PLANE PASS”. The roads would be deserted as many would choose to travel by “The Standing Airlines”, After all, would you not prefer to travel standing in a plane than standing in a bus. Then there would be “Plane Jams” in “The SKY” and we might have to wait for a minute or so for the bigger and better “Boeing” To Pass By. The more jam packed plane might just be seen tilting to one side.
Sometimes the cause of all the congestion in the sky might be convoy of VIP Planes. With red-lights on top, 2 police planes in front and two following the VIP, Sirens Blaring and driver, eh ok ok Pilot, Shouting “Side Kodi Pa”, they would Zip pass most of us. I hope traffic lights would be immaterial but then again what about the traffic police? Using Hover-Crafts and Illegally printed Challan Slips They Might Just stop one of the overloaded planes and ask the pilot to show his flying license. A broken headlight, improper indicators and busted tail light would also attract fines. “The Flying Cops” would even ask some of the passengers to get off …
The airports then would look something like the current bus stands. Instead of the conductor, it would be a Co-Pilot, wearing a tie, chewing "Paan" and with a “Bidi” between his thumb and forefinger shouting out the available seats, (on second thoughts, available places to stand), and the fare. “Coimbatore .. Coimbatore .. Coimbatore” Irrund Seat Irruku, Noor Ruba, Noor Ruba, Nooooor Rubaaaa”.
What pains me the most is the thought as to what would happen to the Kingfisher Air-Hostesses? They would either be replaced by the cheap ones from AI and Air-India or would be used only for the international flights. One of the jokes between us friends while traveling via Deccan would come true… During the flight from Delhi to Bangalore, We encountered quite a lot of turbulence… So used to being jolted on the Indian roads that when I told mah friend “Yaar Road Badi He Kharaab Hai (Dude, The Road Is Pretty Bad)”, He agreed with me whole-heartedly before a second thought brought a faint smile to his lips and the words “Oye – Guddu”
Will update with more thoughts…
