Some of my nieces and nephews definitely have the "hate cilantro" gene, which DW uses quite a bit in her cuisine.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

What they really need is a test for the "hate celery" gene

Never knew anything like that exists, even on a non-genetic basis.

“Smaller then a 737”
If it cuts flight time to 2 hours, and seats are comfortable (you bet they will be for a premium business product like this) who cares about the size (other than caring that the economics work to make it sustainable).

Because it is newer.

Let me rephrase.
Why wasn't the Concorde a success? And what about this is different?

The Concorde used ancient technology and was never updated due to lack of competition. It was the last airplane to still employ a flight engineer.
Additionally the design was inherently flawed, which led to the AF4590 disaster.
The sonic booms were too loud due to old tech.
The post 9/11 slowdown was the nail in the coffin.
Finally, Mach2 just wasn't fast enough to move the needle. Mach5 is a very different story.

It did have a tire issue. Wasn't that the only fatalities in its history?
I just found a new supply of forks!

There were many other close calls to the high tire pressure required.
