As difficult as the airline market has been with high fuel costs, labor problems, financial losses, and the like, the U.S. airline industry is set to see several more carriers enter this highly competitive market. It is a fact that most new carriers ultimately fail, however during their short life spans consumers can get cheap fares on new aircraft winging them to exciting destinations.

The following is a list of pending carriers waiting to take first flight:

Maxjet Airways: Based near Dulles Airport in Washington, DC, Maxjet is poised to launch its inaugural flight on November 1, 2005 from New York to London. This privately owned air carrier recently received FAA certification and is in the midst of hiring and training new employees. Visit www.maxjets.com for more information.

EOS Airlines: Like Maxjet, EOS has received FAA certification and is planning to start flying ultra luxury Boeing 757 aircraft between New York’ JFK Airport and London’s Standsted Airport on November 1, 2005. Ticket specials will allow passengers to fly for “just” $5000. round trip! Corporate headquarters are just outside of New York City in Purchase, NY. For more information visit www.eosairlines.com

There are many ways to evacuate people from disasters like Hurricane Katrina for instance. There are also many ways to move troops to the area of conflict. One way to move vast amounts of people, is to do so with large aircraft. Another idea, which has been kicked around, was lowering body functions to a near standstill through human hibernation techniques like what an anesthesiologist would do.

The new paradigms of war are changing and sometimes it is more important to get the troops there quickly so we would load them all on a C-5 Galaxy or Boeing 747, so perhaps human hibernation is not such a good idea? However, it could be an option for transporting people home from theatre in Iraq or Afghanistan to save food, help wounded bodies slow down.

Maybe we should use it to collect illegal border crossers or enemies caught and taken prisoner. They finally wake up safely in Gitmo, Cuba, in their cell safe from harm. You could stop hundreds of looters and ship them to a secure detainment facility without the stress of potential conflict.

One concept of interest is the Boeing Pelican model using the aircushion or ground effect. Kind of reminds me of Howard Hughes Spruce Goose. See a picture here:

Well, this idea might be better used to move massive amounts of people out of a region in an airlift or air rescue mission. Imagine putting 60,000 people to sleep loading them in air-cargo containers and putting them into a Pelican? Imagine if we had a few of these to aid in the “Operation Rebuild?” Or for around the world type movements of refugees, which you could not feed, simply hibernate them, then putting them in one of Schulmberger’s many 747’s or heck just ship them FedEx.

Oftentimes, it is nec…
