I'm not sure that's true (though I haven't reviewed the stats). I do
know that people are plowing money into this air taxi stuff,

In other words, the airlines are driving away the folks who fly business or
first class, and tend to pay full price; nice business plan :-) no matter
how much money you fork off for a plane ticket, you still end up having to
go through the same crap, delays, 'security' screening, etc. (you won't
take off until the last passenger is in) ok, you might benefit from some
kind of priority as compared to the folks travelling in cattle class, but
the difference is not worth the cost.

My airline status is primarilly due to frequency of travel more than the
price point of my tickets but the day they shut down everything in the UK,
because I have status on US Airways, I was through security at Sky Harbor in
Phoenix, AZ in less time than it often took BEFORE the UK incident.

Those in "cattle class" were in line for probably an hour at least.
