Time and time again, Barry Michaels keeps claiming his so-called "Avatar Airlines" would become a success with rather unrealistic perks that sound too good to be true, like unbelievable fares as low as $19 with free baggage, free seat selection, free meals, and free Wi-Fi. And with expensive yet obsolete 747 planes that are already being retired by many other airlines. He just doesn't seem to realize that the U.S. is one of the most overcrowded and cutthroat aviation markets in the world, which means this type of business model definitely won't work in real life at all...

I'd love to see it but I don't think you could support a 747 with all of those free perks and cheap prices.

The fact that they used B747 says it all.

 

Besides, $19 to $100 wouldn't be able to cover the fuel price alone.

There might be some undisclosed subsidies via contractual arrangements which might render the enterprise viable. though I cant really speculate as to what those are or might be.  Anyone care to speculate?

Not possible tho.

If you take a look at their website and search for their contact info, you won't find a phone number to call, just an email. I think there's something fishy about this...

Well if they begin flying, they begin flying. If not they're fake.

Even the livery on their 747 pictures looks downright cheesy and ugly.
