I guess I'm surprised that there's enough demand to let a business model like this work. But hey... if there is... they might just pull this off.
Since they don't carry human passengers, they're technically a cargo carrier. I wonder if that puts them in a different regulatory environment that gives some advantage?
At least once, and often times twice a year, I drive from Louisiana to Pennsylvania to see my folks. The only reason I haven't flown is because I refuse to put my dogs in the cargo hold of an airliner.
I think there is a demand— I hope enough that they’re able to succeed. A lot of folks like Joe 6-Pack out there. I know I wouldn’t fly my dogs in a cargo hold.
When I first heard of this, though, I thought it was an airline for pets and owners. While this is a definite improvement over cargo holds, I’d rather be with my pets. Shoot, the one often sits on the couch and chairs like a person. With the right dress and accessories, maybe I could pass her off as an elderly aunt...

Not at all. Many of the earliest aviators were dogfighters.
