My issues with this: 1. Whats the goal from the date? Nobody is going to commit to a long term relationship, and I doubt you will convince a guy to leave his job in SF to move to NY from this date.

2. Waste of resources/emissions. Sure, the effect of this is negligible since the planes will be flying anyways, but in principal this just seems like a huge waste of resources.

3. Given 1, it seems that this "date" is really just going to be mostly one-time affairs. Which is cool. But why not just find a date locally or hire an escort.

Not sure I agree about point three - why do you think they will get more success in SF than in NY? If they cannot get a "date" in NY, I am not sure they would get one in SF. Unless the organisers provide everyone with masks, cover of darkness and free booze!
