JSX Finds Loophole to Offer Travelers Private Jet Experience at Low Prices, Sparking Backlash Over Security Concerns
• JSX found a loophole allowing them to sell affordable single seats on scheduled charter planes with quicker security, overcoming rules that charter planes can't have schedules, specified cities, or sell individual tickets.
• The loophole allows JSX to skip long TSA security screenings, instead using bag swabs and weapon detectors, giving travelers more time in cities.
• The private jet experience at low prices has earned JSX passenger love, but competitor anger who claim it's unsafe with lax security risks.
• Mega airline competitors like Southwest and American Airlines argue JSX should meet stricter post 9/11 security standards to limit terrorism risks.
• JSX's success may lead to federal rule changes that bring down their business model, already prompting FAA review along with pressure from Congress and pilots' unions.
