"The Private Club for Private Flights."
Thank you, @RobbReport, for the deep dive.
The era of the solitary, inefficient charter is over.
The future is shared. The future is Revaire.

Private school in NYC is 70k
College is $90k
I asked @claudeai to make me a model of how much you would give to your kids over time if you put this into the markets, went to public school and skipped college.
How on earth does private school make sense vs this?
why not just raise income tax rates?
because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”.
you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens.
you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.)
the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen.
the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure.
it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking.
that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all.
i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%.
want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes.
want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…
Premium-cabin travel is surging. IATA reports 116.9M international premium-class passengers in 2024, up 11.8% YoY—outpacing economy growth. That demand is exactly where shared charter thrives.
Industry estimates put global empty legs around ~30% of private flights. That’s thousands of flights per day, and a lot of stranded supply to match with fliers wanting an upgraded experience. But it only works if it's seamless. That's @revaire_club
There’s a fast-growing middle ground between commercial flying and full private: shared/semi-private charter flying out of private terminals with no lines or crowds and concierge service. It’s changing how premium travelers move. And @revaire_club is doing it unlike anyone else.
What counts as a “safe, legal” charter? In the U.S., passenger charters are operated under FAA Part 135—on-demand, unscheduled air service by certified air carriers. @revaire_club is the first platform of it's kind designed to be fully in line with FAA guidelines
In about a week I’ll be headed to Columbia, Missouri for a few days.
Brent Beshore and team put on an A+ event. From the swag store to the food, it’s all incredibly thoughtful.
If you’re considering going, what are you waiting for? Get your pass. See you there!
Up to an estimated 30% of private jet flights are “empty legs” — jets flying without passengers to reposition. We seamlessly turn those into revenue (and access)... that's the new unlock in bizav.
