I think if we started investing in them, they could grow and bring costs down so more people can afford to use them and we can shut the big airlines out or force them to change policy if they want to get their customers back. At least search people, you would be surprised at how affordable some private airlines can be to certain destinations and or if you are willing to share private commuter flights.

Very valid points. Warren Buffet (Scumbag I guess), has billions and knows what a terrible investment they are for personal private transportation, so instead of having a private jet, he bought Net-Jets which makes money and has airplanes he can use when je needs. I coincidentally make my money by renting people real estate and aircraft, that I can fly for pennies when I need or want to. I retired in May of 2019 at the ripe old age of 39 to a place on the ocean in Key West. So, yes ALL of your ideas are GOOD and if scaled properly could transform an industry or 3.

If I'm on your wavelenghth, ideas like yours are what is needed to dismantel the dominance corporations have over us and move back to sharing programs and bartering.

I'm in! While the industry is being transformed, I'm happy to share some flights.
Private is a great way to travel, especially these days.
