Let's hope that they have a win in the U.S !
If their laws allow these ops in the U.S = then you can bet it'll be coming here to an aerodrome near you early next yr.
As in Uber X & the taxi industry here in Oz, it's still a legal cheap common sense approached operation where customers are pleased with the product / price / service then the alternative.
The WHOLE Uber business model highlights how Governments greasy hands have hugely increased the cost base of each small business taxi operator, untimely driving down owners profits & now we see most drivers working around the poverty wage line :ouch: :ouch: :ouch:
How good would an Uber Air operation go in the Torres Straits & Tiwi Islands :ok: :ok: :ok:
As the Taxi councils here in Oz haven't been able to stop Uber X, I as one would celebrate that day that Uber Air moves into aviation & we see CASA ( as we do the Taxi Council ) as nothing other that a Toothless Paper Tiger which survives only as a leach of the industry :D :D :D

CAsA will probably argue advertising makes the cost share illegal.
