Clip the wings. Fly 4 stories up.

chambers + plane

I’d buy 1 seat a week on an airline that didn’t fly anywhere. The goal is uninterrupted work time in an environment where the norms include:

not talking
being out of control of the exit
having a small space that is yours
a fixed duration on a schedule
wifi and cell coverage elimination

Here’s the idea: Mount 15 rows of an old airplane fuselage on a roof top. Clip the wings but leave the cockpit and front door. Have a terminal style lobby below. Sell tickets for “flights.” It’s just like an actual flight (sounds included) except “departures” and “arrivals” are always exactly the same place.

Some are short. Some are long haul. Each provide the airplane experience but without the flight. A captain speaks over the intercom to tell you the weather and your anticipated arrival time, what you’re “flying” over, etc.

You? Would you buy a “flight” a week? You could get that unique work enviroment without actually going anywhere. It seems for me that ideas and work happens on airplanes that just does not seem to happen elsewhere. Would we be more innovative if we took more “flights”? #makethetime4it

  • I'm in. I would take a flight, altough sometimes I might fall asleep. But maybe that's needed too.
    What if more companies encouraged people to get away for ideas like this?
