Interesting concept. While pricing is aggressive, ground time savings would be the biggest selling point for the 3 hour routes. That being said, I'm very curious which airport they plan to fly in NYC as Teterboro would be the obvious guess but TEB has had longstanding legal issues with allowing any regularly scheduled flights. Landing and FBO fees at JFK/LGA would also seem prohibitively expensive. If it's HPN, which is a good economical choice, all of the time savings completely evaporate unless they are going to provide heli service as well.

There are a lot of other major questions yet to be answered so I'm wondering if this is to simply gauge interest before showing investors in which case this will be much farther out than 2019.

Regardless, I signed up -- even though the only confirmation I got was a charge on my amex and nothing else...
