Some do...

The plane that never takes off

no lighting and the lavatories are out of order.

sounds like most flights out of La Guardia, that technically are supposed to leave the ground, someday

The thread-starting question confused me- "Pay to be a non-departing passenger..."; I have paid for that privilege twice in the last year, both times on AA.

Once, from SFO to DFW, and once from BTR to DFW.

Is it on a treadmill?

Seriously, is this any different from pretending to run a "virtual" airline, or playing fantasy football?

The plane has only one wing, no lighting and the lavatories are out of order. The air-conditioning is powered by a generator.

Sounds pretty realistic to me.

Spike, those exact scenarios in the news this last year inspired me for the thread title. At least those folks in India got exactly what they were paying for.
