"The quickest way to become a millionaire is to start out a billionaire and buy an airline." - Richard Branson

I don't think ownership by the people is going to solve this problem.

    Flying sucks shit. A co op airline would be awesome.

    Flying is not profitable. Most airlines do it at a loss and earn their money by issuing and trading their own currency (points). This airline won't be able to compete. While I love the idea, I won't bet on it.
