Prediction: Quickest airline to ever fold!

Pet Airways, a pet-only airline dedicated to pet-friendly travel.
You now have the ability to send your pet to a number of national locations via “first class” from $199+. This is for the ultra pet-enthusiast who can’t bear the thought of sending their pet in cargo and would rather skip a mortgage payment.
Sending a pet one way is more expensive than sending a human to Chicago if you look at their rates on the site ($199 for NY to Chicago one way). You could probably get a round trip ticket for a human for under $199 from LGA to ORD (although you would probably take a lot of abuse from American Airlines, Delta or United).
So this pets only airline… Is there any hope for this business model?
Pet Airways is probably on the same track as Fly Clear (see Captain G’s post).
