Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when
they come to the
airport. They all go out on the runway and put the
plane together piece
by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane
they are supposed
to be
building.
Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then
they jump on and
let the plane coast until it hits the ground
again. Then they push
again, jump on again, and so on ...
All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and
ticket agents look
and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details,
you are gently but firmly told that you don't need
to know, don't want
to know, and everything will be done for you without
your ever having
to know, so just shut up.
The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly
stewards, easy
baggage check and boarding, and a smooth
take-off. After about 10
minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no
warning whatsoever.
Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much
bigger planes, and
takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile
radius when it
explodes.

Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines
decide to start
their own airline.
They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave
the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of
printing the ticket, but you can also download and
print the ticket
yourself.
When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts,
a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully
adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plan leaves
and arrives on
time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is
wonderful. You
try to tell customers of the other airlines about
the great trip, but
all they can say is, "You had to do what with
the seat?"
