I dunno. If they do it right, it could be great. For instance, if 5 of my friends and I want to make a 500 mile road trip for a college ball game, we can all pile into the Suburban and chip in $25 apiece for the gas alone, take 7 to 10 hours each way to drive, counting stops, and spend our entire weekend on the road. Counting hotel at, say, $75/night, and on road meals/snacks at maybe $40, that's $140 each for the weekend.

If the operating cost of the air limo is $1/mile, that's $167 each. Even if it's $200 for a ticket, and maybe $250, some will pay if only to save wear and tear of 10-15 hours on the road. AND - I'm home all day Sunday, resting for the work week, and not driving. Not too far-fetched in my opinion.

It won't be 1 buck a mile once the FAA, OSHA, EPA, IRS, UNIONS, LAWYERS get done with it. What engineers create, Lawyers and bureaucrats destroy.
