Are you one of those people who just HAVE to get on board first to get the best seat on the plane. Do you push and shove so that YOU get to be the one who fills the overhead luggage bins, leaving no room for the other passengers’ belongings? If so, our new “Assured Seat Selection & Overhead Luggage Space” surcharge may be for you. You can, by paying a small additional fee, join an elite bunch of ASSOLS boarding the aircraft before the other passengers, thereby fulfilling your perfectly natural selfish tendencies.

Pilot Shortage
posted by admin
Thromby Air recently advertised First Officer Vacancies but the response from suitably qualified applicants has been disappointing. Therefore, in a new recruitment initiative, we have devised a way for teenagers to control real Thromby aircraft through their video games. Best yet, they will not even know they are doing it, so we won’t have to pay them or feed them! We see no reason that this exciting innovation will not solve our recruitment issues and provide a large number of “Thromby-ready” low cost pilots. Thromby Air: Your Pilot may have pimples, but at least you wont have to look at...

Scent Marketing
posted by admin
CEO Robert E. Coli discusses Thromby’s new strategy to increase ancilliary revenue: “We’ve got to sell stuff on our flights. Our shareholders demand it, but they haven’t tasted our coffee or croissants. As you know, our coffee can strip paint and our croissants taste like they were squeezed out by a dog.” “Luckily, our scientists have determined that smells can be used to induce people to spend. We know this works… Really, if you could smell ME you would give me money.” “Therefore we have obtained the smells of some top quality coffee and food. With these smells we can whip our passengers into a spending frenzy and they won’t even realize they are reaching for their wallets. They will feel compelled to buy and they won’t even know why! Don’t you just love science?” View page 2 to see Thromby’s scent marketing solution… PONG Ain’t Wrong! Thromby’s patented Passenger Olfactory Need Generation (PONG) system gives us an aromatic advantage when it comes to increasing revenue. Thromby Air… helping passengers realise their...
