Alright, what do you got for me?
The thing is, TWA needs a new plane. A modern plane.
Oh, yeah? What kinda plane?
Okay, the DC-3 has 21 daytime seats and 14 overnight berths.
Something bigger.
Try 50 seats, with a ceiling of 12,000 feet.
No. No, 20,000. Think about it, Jack. What does 20,000 ft give you?
Less turbulence.
Right, because it's above the weather. Jack, we want to fly above the weather. Only 1% of the American population has ever set foot on a commercial airliner. Why? 'Cause they're scared to death, Jack, and they should be. I mean, 7,000 ft. is as bumpy as shit, you know that. We build a plane that flies above the weather, we could get every man, woman, and child in this country to feel safe up there. An airplane with the ability to fly in the substratosphere. Across the country. Across the world. Now, that is the future.
