Not sure of TSA has an allowance for this type of procedure (kind of like the ABE-EWR bus that UA (or was it CO)) used to run, but it would help populate the plane with additional passengers.
This is sure enough one of the silliest suggestions I’ve seen on FT this year.
Although to be fair to IADCAflyer, we are only at the 5th of January.
