Have you seen Eos Airlines? www.eosairlines.com
They are running 757's to Stansted airport near London out of JFK. They are beginning business in a week! The cabin suites look amazing. Of course they are running $3500 One way! But if you book now it is only $2500.
They say they are hiring pilots so I emailed them to see what the minimum flight experience was. They didn't respond more than saying if I wanted to submit a resume I could. It looks like they are looking for Captains anyway.
I wonder if we'll get a jumpseat agreement with them????
Oh, and then there is Maxjet Airlines. They are running 767's over the pond with all business class too. The two seem to hitting slightly different market segments. www.maxjet.net
From the times online: "Eos Airlines’ first eastbound flight will leave JFK at 7:05 p.m. on October 18 and arrive in Stansted at 7:30 am the next morning. The first westbound flight leaves Stansted at 10:30 a.m. and arrive in JFK at 1:29 p.m. Eos is pitching its service at the upper end of the premium market. The service offers just 48 fully flat seats with 78-inch pitch, cashmere blankets, Tempur-Pedic® pillows, real china crockery, a personal DVD player and aisle access for all window seats.
Maxjet, meanwhile, has converted a Boeing 757 planes to carry 102 seats, with a 60-inch seat pitch, free drinks and food and portable entertainment consoles."
