@knickkennedy Nick, why don't commercial airlines do this for specific routes? I totally understand the Rise value in a local context I'd happily pay $1k/month to jump on a Virgin America flight from SFO - AUS at any time (based on availability).

@preetnation I don't disagree, I just feel like calling something "the Uber of_____" is lazy for us to do as we want to differentiate and create a unique experience.

@knickkennedy I'm glad you're not trying to be the 'Uber of Flying in Texas' =) I'd drink that for sure.
