[embed]Someone needs to tell Elon, you fly with PHI, you die with PHI.[/embed]

I’m sure you are trying to be funny or just repeating what you think is a clever rhyme, but really it’s an unfair shot at a fairly well run company in a challenging industry.

And I would guess that Elon doesn’t get on any aircraft without a serious risk assessment beforehand.

Chill out bro. I fly with them all the time. One flight last year their pilot decided to fly when no one else would. It wasn't a good day.

I'm sure some NOLA area state reps will try though



Idk I’m in the NOLA area and it seems like everyone is pretty excited about the news.

This is great PR for the state. Doesn’t matter if it’s Abbeville, Shreveport, Monroe, or New Orleans as far as I’m concerned.

Bring the business and we’ll find a spot for it.

Elon might be the only person in the world that can tell all the corrupt local politicians to go kick rocks



Honestly, Elon carries enough political weight, on top of having powerful attorneys and unlimited funds, that he is the type of person who could get laws changed to curb the stronghold trial lawyers have on the state.

What a blessing that would be for us all, both personally and for operating a business.

There's no could. He already did. That's why the state passed a lot of legislation shielding aerospace companies from liabilities.

I wonder if he plans on building an airport down there for people to come and go. Since he’s aiming for commercial travel

LSU already had aerospace minor that goes with mechanical which is the preferred path Space X and Nasa likes.

How deep are they going to have to drive foundation supports so the buildings don't sink into the ground every few years?


If engineers could build a 700 foot tall skyscraper in New Orleans in 1972 I’m thinking they’ve got this in the bag in 2026.
