United could use the aircraft to connect hubs like Chicago O'Hare International Airport to smaller routes. Some of these routes have been cut by legacy carriers because they are too expensive.
Yep, put me in an airplane where the lithium battery can go critical and burn super white hot while at the same time losing all power. These planes will need to be so lightweight they won’t survive flying through really rough weather. And of course, the folks who will pilot these things are always the folks with the least experience. One good thing though, when they do crash they won’t be spreading burning jet fuel all over the landscape

Will pilot compensation be tied to multi engine threshold or seat count. Will existing ground power be adequate to charge the batteries? Charging time? Will this be another Elon Musk shell game? Tesla money comes from selling carbon credits only redeemable with Bitcoin, or red licorice.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
