Moving Troops and Evacuation Strategies
After all it takes some 2 hours to load up a 747 and another 2-hours to unload it and many aircraft all arriving at that same time or near the same time anywhere would over load the airports and over stress terminals and ground transportation. Well, this idea might be better used to move massive amounts of people out of a region in an airlift or air rescue mission. If you had to evacuate 1 million people from let's say a coming Cat 5 Hurricane, you have everyone go to an airport and then lay them down, put them to sleep and ship them out to a safe haven and wake them up as you have resources for ground transportation once there. Perhaps we can learn better evacuation techniques from this Hurricane Katrina dilemma? Think on this. Maybe we should use it to collect illegal border crossers or enemies caught and taken prisoner.

Now Air Taxi business is coming into play as an extension of the fractional jet market. There has been much talk about this and those airlines with smaller hubs or multi-hubs and most like point to point did best in the recession and during the 9-11 downturn. After 9-11 we saw a big boost in chartered aircraft for top executives as the lines and hassles created by the TSA were unnerving to say the least. More executives and wealthy families traveling this way provided greater volume and economies of scale and thus spurred on the market when other commercial aviation sectors were hit hard by 9-11.

Flying With Your Dog
However, if you absolutely must transport your dog without being present, you can contact a licensed and approved pet transportation company to get the job done for you.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) is aware of this research and the need to prevent potential safety hazards to pilots.
