Here is a new startup idea, UberAir: We don't do tedious things like owning planes and hedging fuel costs. On the contrary, we are all about connecting enthusiastic pilots with awesome passengers.

The pilots get a lease offer for the planes so they'll own one after 50 years. The estimated pilot salary after deducting lease payments will be $1245 per month.

We're also working on pilot-less planes. Once these are done, we'll take care of the remaining contractors by launching UberLavatory, which will lease public toilets to enthusiastic Toilet Managers.




> ..by launching UberLavatory...

May I suggest a rebrand to ÜberLü?


I'm going to assume they'll have to have to create some kind of proxy for the unpiloted planes in order to escape liability for crashes.
