-Fantastic stuff Martin, listening to it now!

-Just listened to it as well.
Adds absolutely nothing at all to what has been said or unsaid about the airline.
He's living his dream. But we have nightmares too. Let's hope the nightmare period for Martin is just the wait to get everything in place.
Other than that we can but wait and see.

-In the light of the C4 programme about Alpha One the Webmaster and Moderators have decided to lift the ban on threads on the subject of Alpha One.
Accordingly, this thread is re-opened.
Please don't let this thread go the same way as it's predecessors.
In this Forum, we discuss the issues and NOT the personalities involved. I am unaware of any exceptions.
Thanks

.........forgive me for asking "What is Alpha One".......I don't mean to be thick.......I just am!!!!!! :D Mark :D :D :D
I know it's an airline but I haven't heared anything about it before now.

-The website looks very professional on the home page, but theres nothing on it, it says it's all under construction. Whos gonna book tickets with an airline that not only isn't flying a week after they should have started, and hasent even got any reasons why or apologies on the website!

If they do get going I think a day trip to IOM will be needed, I will have to fly them! ;) Bit pricey though. ;)

-The call centre are more than happy to take your money off you. However, would you book a ticket when the airline's terms and conditions, according to the website, do not exist?
Without terms and conditions made available to prospective passengers BEFORE they book, any passenger is taking a risk.
'Under construction' on the website means nothing to anyone wishing to book now. Perhaps someone more intelligent than me can advise whether or not it is actually legal to sell tickets without terms and conditions explained before booking. With Flybe and Thomsonfly you have to accept the terms and conditions before your booking is confirmed. With AlphaOne you have no terms and conditions to agree to although the page is there on the website.
The return fare offered me today was £112.26. However, I was told that was only for the 22nd December, other flights on other dates could be considerably more expensive, but the customer services advisor was unable to give me any other price.
"I sincerely wish you all the best and hope you don’t let any immature narrow minded individual put you down in any way. You have done so well to get this far and deserve to go further."
The comment above from Mr.Business reveals how little he knows about the plans and prevarications of AlphaOne to date. Perhaps Mr. Halstead might wish to contact Mr.Business and enlighten him regarding the multiple start dates and their attendant delays, the prevarication over equipment, the constant changing of routes and also perhaps confirm his status as an 'airline pilot.' I'm sure Wys, WD, Skycruiser, Moondance et al can provide reams of paperwork to confirm their professional status.

Maybe the call centre explain the T&C's when you book over the phone? Not much point having the T&C's on a website if you can't book there.
What was the C4 show?
By: 1st December 2005 at 22:13 Permalink - Edited 1st January 1970 at 01:00
-I'm curious. What exactly was shown in this TV programme on C4 to warrant this new bout of allowing Alpha None discussion? Did it show the first passenger-carrying flight taking off? Did it show the founder's pilots licence etc. with a friendly chap from the CAA affirming it was real and not a figment of an over-active imagination? In short, what exactly did it change in the laughable situation we all know so much about?
here-here! why the extremely sudden change?
because martin started this thread?

Hi Guys,
About six weeks ago I did an interview for BBC Radio 4 about alphaOne. It was aired this Saturday and I forget to give a heads up about it, however they've now posted it online. If you go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hometruths/ and click on 'Listen to this weeks program' you can listen to it. The interview is 35 minutes into the show so you can fast forward to it.
The interview lasts for about 15 minutes and has interviews with myself, some of my family and friends and alphaOne's employees. Hope you guys enjoy it!
All the best
Martin
P.S I've got a day off today so I'll try and dig out the photos from the Virgin Inaugral trip to Mumbai to post later.
