Yee Doggies ... makes 'ya wish yer pappy was a Saudi Prince don't it?

^ I dunno about that. All I have to worry about is buying a new Volkswagen every ten or so years for ~$35k. I can't imagine having to worry about keeping up with the Al-Joneses when their toysd cost ~$35 Mill...

Would be nice to know the AC types these interiors are attached to.

Not to keen on the teal colour, or is this WestJets new 1st Class mockup? I did hear rumours they were going to buy 20 A380s from Emirates. Kind of a Virgin approach. Then run em between YQF-YYC, YYZ-YHM and YYJ-YVR.

Imagine those things packed to the gunwales with pop and chips.

Darn. I thought this thread would be about flying pants.

Ok question for the math genious out there:

How many of these planes can you buy, when you raise the cost of fuel by 1 cent / litre?

I'm just going with the safe bet and say 'a lot'.

Imagine bringing one of those babies to young eagles day at buttonville. I'm assuming you'll have no choice but to take the papa and mamma eagles along also.

Made me think...How many barrels of oil do you have to sell to have a gold toilet.

The styling is reminiscent of the furniture that "The Brick" used to sell back in the 80's and 90's. Lots of shiny metals and crazy colours. Looks heavy too. "Here's your new corporate interior in your B767; however, you can only carry 5 people and enough gas to fly 500nm."

Hmmm. Let's consider both vehicles relative to their purchasers' Net Worth:

If yours is $100K, spending $35K on a car is 35% of it.
If theirs is $10B, spending $35M on a plane is 3.5% of it.

And they pay less tax.

Of course if both your incomes dried up you would be better adapted to living cheaply. So there's that. On the other hand, selling your 10-year old Volkswagen might not yield as many emergency meals as his plane. So it is a toss up, but on balance I think I would prefer Emir's financial problems.

Middle Eastern chic.

I like the one that has pictures of naked ladies.

With that kind of cash - I'm not sure why you'd have pictures?

Exactly! I'm pretty sure that is not, actually, a picture, but rather a window into the "holding tank".

Personally, some of the most hideous "design" work I've seen. I think these folks should spend some more time with those who design the interiors of high-end sailboats: much more stylish, IMHO!

Aaaagh.
dammit.
I thought I was done reading this thread.

Now I have to scroll up , click the link again, and find out what you're talking about.



I could have been learning something by reading posts in 'maintenance' or 'flight training'-but nooooo....you have to slow me down.
bastard.

I have a whole forum to read, here,-try to have some consideration for others , before posting, eh.
