First Officer Vacancies...

Excellent opportunities* therefore now exist in our Flight Operations department for suitably qualified** First Officers. * While your primary job is to bite the Captain if he does anything stupid, your own Captaincy upgrade may be at risk if you do. ** Vetinary certificate showing all shots and neutering is...

Weight Reduction Strategies...

Thromby Air charges you for your ticket based on your weight. Here are some handy tips for reducing your ticket cost. Shave before you fly. Everywhere. Do not eat for 48 hours prior to checkin. Vending machines are available after ticket weigh-in (prices as marked). Eliminate all body waste prior to checkin. Common sense, really. Breathe helium prior to weigh-in. * Our lawyers coerced them after they suggested that Thromby increased freedom of choice in aviation in the same way that Typhoid increased freedom of health. Also, we tricked them into thinking that Thromby has flights from Australia to Oshkosh in the USA which, of course, is not true. Some people will never learn. Visit Steve Visscher and Grant McHerron at their podcast website www.planecrazydownunder.com to learn about aviation in the Australia/Pacific region, and to make sure that they don’t say anything nasty again about Thromby...

Hidden Charges (SLAPs)...

There has been much discussion recently about our so-called “hidden charges.” These charges are not, of course, “hidden” as all passengers are informed of them at some point. If they were truly “hidden” then our passengers would NEVER know and this, of course, is not the case. To avoid confusion, we have adopted a new name for such charges, now referring to them as “Surcharges for Low Awareness Passengers,” or SLAPs. You may be slapped with a charge at any time, but it will not be hidden. In response to certain other scurrilous media accusations, Thromby management can assure you that ALL of our charges are perfectly safe, having been tested on...

The Asterisk*

The favourite tool of our legal and marketing departments, the asterisk was originally an “ideogram” used by the ancient Egyptians. When the discovery of the Rosetta stone allowed translation of ancient hieroglyphs it was revealed that the * symbol carried the meaning “tighter than a cat’s….” Although today the asterisk is used to separate marketing spin from the cold, hard facts, the flavour of the original meaning remains. * – not to be confused with “Asterix,” the little French guy. Express your deep understanding of the secrets of modern marketing with a genuine Thromby Air Asterisk* T-shirt, available now from our official merchandise provider,...

High Density Seating Plan...

Thromby Air CEO Robert E. Coli recently discussed an inconvenient truth about humans and air travel: “There is a fundamental limit to the number of passengers we can squeeze into an aircraft cabin, and it is caused by the length of your femur. Seat pitch can only be reduced so far because your annoying thighbone is long and does not bend easily. “The more passengers we can cram into our planes the better*, so solutions need to be found. Some of our competitors are sniffing around the idea of making passengers stand up, but we don’t think the safety-wowsers are going to go for it. So we searched, and found a better way.” * for us When questioned further about this new solution, Mr Coli said, “We were inspired by one of the greatest games of the computer age. It is so obvious that I can’t understand why every airline isn’t doing it. Here, let me show you our design blue-print…” View page 2 to see our solution based on these plans… Tetris Hangin’ Upside Down Seating...
