A TSA Free Airline - PlaneRed
PlaneRed is an all-you-can-eat flight subscription launching around September 1st 2011 that will fly just below the TSA’s radar – using 9-person planes to dodge under their screening of any plane carrying over 10 passengers. The subscriptions will work as such – passengers will pay around $150 a month for access to a booking system much like a city bus, able to book on popular routes on the east coast, serving Atlantic City, New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C..

Very innovative!
A nine person plane to only eastern seaboard popular destinations for $1800. a year. Great concept, but I'd hope a really thorough backround check is required for each passenger. Notice they don't guarantee a flight unless enough passengers sign-up. Like they said, it's like a magazine subscription...They only reserve your seat when they collect enough money to afford the plane.
My guess is that it will be oversold on routes between NY, DC, etc. and your $150 a month won't get you a seat. Then again, if they limit the number of subscribers it may work if there is some flexibility in the scheduling system. If this is just to avoid the TSA, then it probably won't go anywhere, but if it is designed to give the "private jet" feeling to business travelers who wouldn't be able to afford it, they could have a winner.
never work.
Old news...
