Yeah sure! They've been talking about this type of thing for 100 years now and we're no closer to it now then we were back then. There is a hell of a lot more to flying an airplane than there is to driving a car; it simply cannot be simplified to the point that anybody can do it.

I am a professional pilot with over 6,000 flight hours on corporate jets, teaching new military pilots, and giant, 4 engine cargo jets. This type of thing makes me laugh!

@jumboJetPilot I think you're right. We'd still need trained pilots like yourself but we may see smaller, more fuel efficient and less expensive aircraft filling in the parts of the hub and spoke system as more airports and airlines suspend service. Towns that once had rail, bus and air now have no transportation links to bigger metropolitan regions. I would bet more people will also become licensed pilots. But the price of fuel may make this untenable as well.

After 9/11 I highly doubt anyone could easily have a privae jet, there will a lot of restrictions out there. So many checks and hassles. Might as well invest on a good vehicle and enjoy life on the road.

@MyurenJ Actually, the private jet industry grew exponentionally after 9/11. The recession has cut into sales but things are picking back up. It's not only because it's a less of a hassle it also has to do with the fact that the income gap has grown so large that more people can opt for luxury.

Yeah, this is the olden days, were people use over predict technology e.g. saying things like flying cars.

...and oh...one more thing..i prefer to have the Iron Man Mark IV suit rather than to have a private jet....thumbs up if you agree heheheheh

[kastutan]

private jet?...fuck the oil company first..they make fuel so expensive...and for a jet?..a jet that consumes like what?...a thousands liters of fuel....oh yeah right! who wants to spend lot of money for this?...only billionaires

Great video! More tax cuts are needed to fund this industry. If the politicians can get at Social Security, think of how many personal jets could be built. Forget about the people that paid into it - fuck the workers, fuck the environment and fuck commercial pilots.

@gamestopcamper THIS IS A TWO WAY STREET, WE CAN SEND OUR JETS INTO CROWDED MOSQUES DURING PRAYER HOUR. SO IN RETURN IT WORKS OUT JUST FINE.
