Fly Like You're Rich With Social Flights (And Private Planes)
I've got a better idea in the same space.I've always wanted somebody to take the idea of "leave when full" minibuses in the 3rd world and apply it to popular airline routes.How cool would it be if there was an operator running flights from Los Angeles to San Fransisco using small commuter jets with no fixed schedule and plenty of planes.  You'd just turn up, buy a ticket, make your way to the gate, and get on the plane.  When it filled up it would taxi away and another one would fill its place.Average wait time: less than 15 minutes.  No more showing up at the airport 2 hours early.Naturally, you'd have to charge a premium, but if you pick your routes correctly and target people with more money than time, you would clean up.The only downside is that you couldn't do it from actual commercial airports like LAX and SFO because you'd never get a slot to take off.  You'd need to use smaller airports such as Boeing Field in Seattle.  It still seems pretty doable though.
