Even at tech salaries those are expensive commutes. But for a ski weekend in Tahoe? Seems legit, assuming these aircraft have a great safety record.

- gopalv 6y ago> Even at tech salaries those are expensive commutes. Are they really that expensive? I was paying 40$ on Lyft one-way to office earlier this year, which was a huge part of my transportation costs (economically speaking, I should've driven, but this allowed me to take the bullet back in the evening, which beat driving by a lot). 50$ for SF -> PA isn't that much more expensive than Lyft in 2019.
- arcticbull 6y agoYou could do a line or pool in 2019 for as little as $17 even slightly off-hours, fwiw. Your point remains well taken.
- semicolon_storm 6y agoSure the commute would be expensive, but if it lets you live in a lower cost area it may be more than worth it.
- kjs3 6y agoSince near as I can figure they've only built 2 technology demonstrators, they have basically no safety record right now. Interesting idea, tho.
- apendleton 6y agoI think we'll also have to see how things shake out in terms of office cultures post-covid, as I think there might be some attitude changes around partial work-from-home. I don't think my current employer would be likely to go all-remote, but I could maybe see them going to hot desks with less-than-100% seating capacity on the expectation that most people only come into the office a couple days a week, and the economics of this kind of pricing definitely shift if it's not a daily expense.
- smabie 6y agoI mean, not really. I way paying over $500 commuting by train into NYC. That comes to $25/day assuming I work 5 days a week. So, I would say it's pretty reasonable.
