I mean if you don't want to be federally regulated for air travel, you can just fly intrastate. Southwest famously operated like this in the pre-deregulation era and became the poster child for federal airline deregulation. Though I don't think anyone is dumb enough to risk reputational suicide by flying a grounded plane intrastate.
