What's with the latest email and in-app message, "Fly on a heavy jet coast to coast for $7,950"?

Is this them marketing the shared charter? Or the "VIP shuttle" or something new entirely?

My understanding is that pricing is for Starters to incentivize more people into starting shared charters on some key shuttle routes.

I don't understand Jetsmarter.. They told me that now they were expending shuttles and reducing deals but from what I see they're reducing deals and shuttles..

What's interesting is that even my aviation specialist didn't knew what to say when I asked him.. Always new excuses,..

A lot of people are getting angrier and angrier..

They seem to be struggling financially and that means they need to get customers to front them the money in ways.

People are getting mixed messages on buying simple. If you are ready to pull the trigger I can get you 13 months of simple for the price of 12. Offer ends midnight tonight. PM me.

Sorry I can't get back to all the PMs. If you want to buy a simple membership tonight before midnight you can use code 0XNHP5 when signing up and they will give you 13 months for the price of 12.

Take a chill pill. These things come in waves based on demand. Just about every week there is a day with only a couple of jetdeals. Today is no different

I thought this was the Onion, but apparently not - South Florida Business Journal - JetSmarter offering Tom Price a six figure salary to join its Board.

I just heard that some members can now fly US-transcon for two tokens and no cash rather than one token plus cash payment. Does anyone know about this?
