Photo taken by a friend of mine, in not so ideal conditions.

This is a joke.

Oh thats a Murcutt rant above Sandy, I’d recognise that almost reglious “do you know who I am” patronising rubbish anywhere!

As professional as ever 😮 …. I still say give them 6 months if they get off the ground, max! The photoshopped A310 looks about as a classy as a knackered Turkish charter aircraft doesn’t it. LOL!

As I am the CEO of this company I would like to thank you all for the endless amusement and good fun I and my team have found in this, and indeed other forums on the ‘net’ as you have all speculated about our plans, our abilities in management and marketing, and our capability to launch this programme.

This is the one and only time I intend to post anything on any forum, so you had better make the most of it because this is the big event of the year!

To be truthful. I never found human inadequacy funny until I discovered aviation forums! The idea that people who are largely unsuccesful should spend their leisure time spelling out the the rules of the world to people who are generally in control does seem quite prepostrous to me. Perhaps this is meant to be part of the joke, a little like the pan telling the chef how to cook!

The task that faces anyone who wishes to start a long haul airline is gigantic. Those among you who are applying for cabin crew jobs and feeling the pain of rebuffs dont even come close to the emotion of the challenge.

Stand alongside a transatlantic aircraft and look at it. Slowly. Take stock of it’s size and it’s power. Feel the scale of the venture and come back and tell me you could do it. You could set up and fund a company capable of getting a few of these things into the air, week in and week out and make it all pay so well that you and your mates will have great jobs forever.

Well cynics and naysayers, look to your hearts as well as your heads for this one – if was sooo easy to do, why are there so few long haul companies in this country? Why are there not dozens of firms all clamouring for you to come and work for them?? Answers on a postcard please!

I trust you will all be happy to hear that with or without the endorsement of the great unemployed UK aviation community, we will be commencing services to the world this coming year. Also, with or without your approval, we will do it in the way we see fit, with any name we happen to have selected and with any aircraft type we feel suits our requirements.

I have never doubted that there are people better qualified than me for the task that lies ahead or better able to manage a team, but thus far I have yet to have read their application form or seen them come into our offices for a chat.

I do not require the flying fraternity in the midlands to like me or to like the way I operate my company but I do expect the people who want to work for us to have a mind and an imagination capable of conceiving the very best.

The facts of life are tough. By and large the difference between the haves and the have-nots comes down to the dids and the did-nots. The world rewards those who give to it AND who invest in those around them. Our company is an investor. In people, in commerce and in the world.

You dont have to work for us if you dont want to, but those who do will look back one day and admit that they never had a more exciting time in their life than when they came and joined the foundation team at BluArrow Aviation.

I hope you all have a great life and that your career affords you chances to go and to see the best things that the world has to offer.

Thanks for letting me pitch in to your entertaining site!

Aden Murcutt
CEO
bluarrow aviation ltd

p.s. this is how expect to look when we start. Cuts down the entertaining speculation I know, but the eagle eyed will note it’s an A310…..

p.p.s. The website will be replaced very soon indeed now. Get off my back on this one please!

Well said.

This is by far a more sedate forum. I’d like to think the people here listen to reason a lot more than on other forums, where you have a whole bunch of teenage armchair CEO’s that think they know how the industry ticks.

My knowledge barely scratches the surface. It’s a cutthroat business and is very hard to break into. People, often fans, are too quick to ridicule airlines.
Take note folks.

If indeed you are Murcutt, I salute you for posting here. Even if your starting comments were a little generalised.

Matt if indeed that is you posting please do try to calm down a little. I can see where you are coming from.

Sandy – i hate to say it, but there has been the odd occassion where you have had that attitude – i know something you dont know. If thats the case, please do as you have obviously been told to do, and keep it to yourself – dont even begin to say that you know something that we dont – if its going to spark a response like you got here on this post, and cause a lot of fuss – its not worth doing. It makes the forum more of a somber place, and not a nice place to be. The forum has gone downhill rather a alot this year in my opinion, and it was just starting to get back up to the standards it used to be. Dont either of you take my comments the wrong way, please. If you have something to say to onew another, or a complaint – either talk it out amongst yourselves or contact a moderator – do not make your issues public. Or if infact you do know something that we dont, and we are not allowed to know, then dont tell us!

Any how, on to the topic at hand.

Flyblu, i know you may not reply to this, but how comes you changed the name?

Personally now, I couldn’t give a rats arse.

Matthew got the laundry out in public…. that is simply inexcusable.
He was my MSN… we spoke frequently on it. There was no need for this, at all.

Oooh!!!! (holds handbag up towards face). Us inadequates have obviously been taught a lesson here by a person who feels he’s ‘generally in control’. Nice to hear it from the horses mouth, but talking about mouths, does anyone else sense a slightly bitter taste?

Sarcasm aside though, good luck to him. I’m sure plenty were mocking Stelios and Branson when they were just starting out.
