Aviation is for the common man. My goal is to enable everyone to fly. It shouldn't be only for the rich.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was a child, I didn't fly - we couldn't afford to fly. Flying was for rich people.
Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.
I was hooked on aviation, made model airplanes, and never thought I would be able to fly myself. It cost too much. But then World War II came along and changed all that.
I loved flying as much as I thought I would and continue to fly aircraft.
I love flying planes.
I think airlines have been very much parrots. They'll just follow what everyone else is doing. Why change a model that they're happy in? And it takes someone like myself or Richard Branson who comes from outside the industry to say, 'Hey, let's try something new.'
If you want to be a Millionaire, start with a billion dollars and launch a new airline.
I hate flying. Know why? Because no one really understands how planes actually work.
You can't imagine a world, quite frankly, without a safe and secure aviation system. And so our job is to really focus on that, and what we need to do to keep it safe and secure.
The idea of flying in general does not appeal to me. I can barely understand why people want to fly at all, other than that it's occasionally necessary.
