I'm not sure I understand why you think this is wrong. It's been going on for a while and isn't anywhere close to AirPooler. Most of these jets are in Part 135's that want to get some revenue to help pay for fuel and overhead.

They look to be already established charter companies.
Yeah, no, just get your 135 certificate and it's all good.

I think you're missing the sarcasm of the original poster.
It was a rather non sequitur of sarcasm though with no basis on which to found.
The media article wasn't ringing a false alarm or even danger, they were advertising opportunity. Something a pilot should see as normal and proper. Now where sarcasm could have been appropriately applied most likely is in the use of 'cheap' and 'private flight' together.
Not really sure what those rides go for.

Indeed. I hear Facebook is experimenting with a satire tag, for people who think passed-around Onion articles are real. Like this one.

Whenever I'm having a bad day, I go check out The Onion and The Daily Currant. If the stories aren't funny enough, the comments below them from idiots who don't get it are even better.

This is the Internet, where anyone can and does post. It is impossible to know whether someone believes what they post.
