Default Airline hires temps to fill plane

I guess it isn't an April Fools joke? If true, it would have been
nice to be one of the temps!

Budget carrier's move to meet passenger numbers called 'ludicrous'

DUBLIN - Flybe has given the term low-fare airline an entirely new
meaning: it is paying 172 people to fly back and forth across England
and the Irish Sea to help it meet a target for passenger numbers at
Norwich airport.

Flybe was narrowly falling short of a target to deliver at least
15,000 passengers on the Dublin-Norwich route in the 12 months ending
on Monday, which meant it would have to forego a 280,000 pound
($550,000) rebate from the airport.

AIRPLANE IV

other great ideas

10. nitroglycerin can make it get more miles to the gallon

9. salt the popcorn, peanuts and pretzel heavily, because it'll save
flushing and paper towels (or is that the opposite that sodium doeth?
i'm so ole, can't keep it straight, pun intended)

8. get grant from govt for adding all the new employees

7. two or three words: CATCH TWENTY-TWO

6. get some better movies and sell that popcorn (take it out of their
wages, stuff like that)

5.--1. hey, them peoples ain't got uniion cards, i'm filing grievance
