+ In one sentence, tell us about your idea.

I would like to connect retired pilots with owners of private airplanes who would like to exchange their time for accommodations at the destination for the pilot and partner/spouse.

+ My ideal collaborative partner or partners would be...?

Anyone has seen any model of this type already. I am also wondering if someone with app building skills would want to partner.

+ What is it about your idea that makes you feel good?

To be able to trade pilot skills with free travel and accomodations is a win win for many of us retired guys.

+What makes your idea innovative? Why has no one ever done it before?

I think it has taken Uber and AirBNB and others this much time to get the public into a trust mode to share their cars, homes and now , hopefully , their airplanes and guest rooms.

This idea is… Global

+ Who will benefit the most from your idea?

I believe it will be a win win for both sides. The airplane owner gets a pilot and the pilot gets travel.

+ Ideally, when would you launch this idea?

In a year

+ Indicate which UN goals your idea relates to?

Good Health and Well-being

Sustainable Cities and Communities

+ At Sigmund, we are interested in ideas at the intersection of People, Planet, and Profit. How does your idea relate to these three categories?

My idea will bring travel to destinations that are only serviced by smaller aircraft, so their economies will benefit. We could also partner to bring medical services to needy communities. We can profit by selling insurance products to the parties involved in our trades. Or have an annual membership fee.
