What It's About

Today's listener has an interesting idea involving flying. Does it have wings?

Notes from Chris

Episode 1873
Wouldn’t it be cool to fly around the world as a messenger—and not for a drug cartel, but for companies that needed materials delivered quickly? This was the promise of being an airline courier. It was something I saw ads for and wondered about a long time ago.

Today’s caller remembers those ads too—maybe even they’ve seen them recently? I’m not sure, but in any case, they’re wondering about whether this is a viable business opportunity, a scam, or perhaps something else? Let’s see if we can unravel the mystery.
"I've heard there are people who get paid to be airline couriers, where they fly from place to place delivering sensitive documents and maybe some other goods and items—but nothing sketchy! It's totally legal and is a service that corporations doing a lot of international trade need. Where can I find out more about this opportunity? I'd love to go to Paris for free ... maybe Venice too. But that brings up another point: I don't suppose you get to pick your destinations, do you? If not, where are the most common ones?"
