Answer: Toy aeroplane designer

Elliott told the survivors that the only way out of the desert was to rebuild the plane, and then he revealed to them that he was an aeroplane designer. They all believed that he meant proper "people carrying" planes. Towards the end they found out that he designed toy aeroplanes.

Answer: Starting again is the only way out

'Out of the ashes, hope will rise' refers to the mythological phoenix who rose from the ashes. The ashes in this film refer to the desert, and the phoenix in this film is the plane.

'If they stand together, they stand a chance'. All the survivors had to help to rebuild the plane, because if one person refused to help then they would have run out of water causing them to dehydrate.

'The only way out is up'. The survivors were 200 miles away from the nearest town and walking across the desert would have killed them. If they couldn't walk to survive then they had to go up and fly out of the desert.
