As often as not, the gliders turned out to be single use.

We’ve all seen it before and undoubtedly they got the idea from what the USAAF did in the war.
Remains to be seen how effective it is in commercial use. Will depend on the average flight profile.

TCAS: “Climb, Climb, Climb”
Response: “ “
They will need to limit these to Freight/GA only airports in rural areas to prevent ‘incidents’ with passenger planes and folks on the ground.
Say Winder for Atlanta, North Texas Regional for DFW, etc.

Or maybe they could just catch ‘em in big nets.
You’re right, all the repurposed air bases like Mesa Gateway and the others you named would have to be the destinations, but that was always the plan for the cargo biz...
Still should be interesting when the errant field service truck accidentally drives on to an active runway...eek! Can’t go around...

The drivers will hopefully be fully qualified and licensed, no foreigners please.

The main purpose of this start up is to collect investor/government money. Then go bankrupt. Like always...

“Then go bankrupt. Like always...”
There are always a few exceptions like Apple, Google, Amazon, NVidia, SalesForce, Uber, AirBnB, Netflix, Tesla, Facebook, Cisco, Oracle, Instagram and some others.
