Uber and the US - Unlawful - Curt Lewis

FAA Grounds 'Uber for Planes'

Sharing economies have been around long before companies like Uber and AirBnB figured out how to take the idea digital and thereby monopolize entire peer-to-peer networks. Historically, the private aviation community is one of the groups which is most familiar with the principles of a pre-Uber sharing economy, due in large part to the huge costs associated with purchasing, maintaining and operating a noncommercial aircraft.

According to the FAA and a recent court ruling however, taking this well established flight-sharing network online is totally illegal.
