Ilana, I won’t ride on the flying bus anymore; I either drive or fly my own light aircraft. Commercial Aviation is going to get very interesting when the new light jets get out there. I think they’re going to take a bigger chunk out of the commercial carriers than they expect.

I flown with Wings Air in the past and may never have to, as they put, endure the hassles of a big airport again. I arrived right at departure time and they were still waiting for me. They grabbed my bags, parked my car, served me a drink and I was in Charleston an hour later. Oh, and the price was way less than Delta. Thanks Robbie!

More power to Robert Rupard and others in his industry. Regardless of the ongoing persecution of the federal government free enterprise is still out there and still works. Don’t be fooled though. If charter air businesses increase and actually have success the feds will jump in and interfere. Everybody knows that success driven entreprenours are inherently evil and must be controlled by the most unsuccesful business in the country, the federal government.

If this fellow succeeds in bringing charter flight prices down enough to compete with commercial flights, then I might fly again. Otherwise, I’m driving. Last time I flew, it was to K.C. to visit with someone I now live with, and it wasn’t fun. I had a big purse, and of course they had to wipe it down to check for “powder residue.” Oh, and the tiny grandma next in line to me was also searched.
