I believe that safety will no longer be a baseline


I do. They can be run just like railroads. Railroads have dispatch centers all over the nation. They are all run by railroad employees as far as I know. However, there are FRA people there basically looking over their shoulders observing things. I see the FAA still having a large part on the safety angle in the same manner.

I appreciate your argument, but we're talking about flying tubes filled with hundreds of people, traveling at 500 mph, in a three dimensional space.

A massive three dimensional space if you're talking the US Airspace.

Trains travel on tracks, in a known space, with a much better idea of where they are headed in a space and time.

It's an apples and oranges argument.
