VicMan Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 This Airliners.net thread documents the tale of an apparently fake airline: http://www.airliners.net/discussions/gener...725014/#menu126What kind of airline asks people to wire money to China in order to buy a non-refundable airline ticket? Why the poor grammar? It reminds me of a Nigerian advance fee fraud scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicMan Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 December 14 came and passed... and there were no Metis flights from Vancouver to Macau.Now the site says: "Until that is, \"THE GRINCH\" stole Christmas from the thousands of passengers that were happy to have an alternative option from expensive airfares this holiday season."And a new a.net thread about this "surprising" (not) announcement was started: http://www.airliners.net/discussions/gener...d.main/3745018/This is humorous and pathetic at the same time...
