Logistically a nightmare. If England ran a service like that, it would be possible and might even be cost effective. Trying a national program, even a franchised one, on a country as large as the US with a large population would be asking for problems. It could be done, but it would be a definite money pit, and fiscal abuse would be bad. No, I don't think government has any place in private industry, and flying businessmen from their remote homes shouldn't be subsidized. Let 'em rent a plane on their own, or drive.
