This. Same shenanigans with Taylor Swift last year. Still not great, and still could fly commercial, but even those need to be moved to other locations with no passengers/cargo from time to time.
Edit: where is that “thermonuclear lawsuit” we were promised.
I wonder if there was a semi-private commercial airline if it would be popular. Like more expensive than business class, but you still share with like 20-30 other people.
The problem might be that it needs to have destination that are popular amongst that group of people and enough to fill it. So you end up with three lines…
I know about time sharing a private jet (or simply renting one). I was looking for something between first class and private. Like you still get 1, 2, 4 seats and share the rest. AFAIK you get the whole plane to yourself if you time share.
Anyone can file legal process. Need to survive motions to strike and summary judgment before you say he followed through. I think it’s going to get tossed within a few weeks.

Those are totally a thing. You can time-share a jet

Yes but if all the 100s of passengers had private jets, there would be 100s of extra flights. This argument is apologist nonsense
