 * Keep, Real airline. I added some content and fixed it up a little. Rx StrangeLove 23:44, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, Real airline. 1 aircraft or 200 aircraft, it's real and notable that this member shared some wiki-info.  Isn't that what it's all about in Wikiland?
 * This nom was never added to a main VfD page; completing nom now. Keep.  JYolkowski // talk 13:51, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per unsigned vote above. Kappa 16:58, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. A very real, but also very non-notable airline. Airlinecruft. / Peter Isotalo 17:06, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Part of the history of the industry. -- DS1953 18:01, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: A Charter Service is not an Airline. A guy who rents his airplane is not notable.  Also, the external link doesn't work. &mdash; Lomn | Talk / RfC 18:18, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Do the people who vote to keep even bother to read the articles?  This is not an airline, it's a charter service.  There are probably a thousand charter services in Alaska alone.  Zoe 21:08, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Wikipedia is not paper. Guettarda 23:52, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It may be a charter service, but it was notable enough to be covered by Time which is enough justification right there. The fact the airline included waterbeds adds additional trivia value. It may have also been one of the first to offer real discount fares, making it a predecessor to the discount airlines of today. Three good reasons to keep, even if it is "just" a charter service. 23skidoo 00:59, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Couldn't have said it better myself (referring to previous vote by 23skidoo). Apparently this chartered airline was much more than just a charter as it signified a huge change in airline travel, in concurrence with the views of the day.  I think that this material is EXACTLY the type of material sought for Wikiland.  Some of you folks were a wee-bit harsh here.
 * Keep, as per above comments.  I learned something new from the article... waterbeds! Anyway, we know its not an ad --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 03:43, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: The bad external link was the result of a wiki mistake, it is fixed now. --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 03:47, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Airline history is one of my fields, and Freelandia and the charter "travel club" model for discount air travel was very important in the field. The regulatory climate at the time made this very innovative and notable, independent of Freelandia's lack of long-term success. --MCB 04:31, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Looks good to me, good content, and apparently much more than just a charter. McA 19:31, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes Beau, I bothered to read this article.  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 02:10, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
