Answer 1

Wait, you want to charge people, to fly in your Cessna 172? What? I don't understand the question. Ask it again.

Answer 2

Make people pay for tickets? In a Cessna 172? hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa. Cattle prod? hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa.

Answer 3

How many times have you asked this question?  Short answer, you can't make money with a 172, unless you are perhaps doing instruction.  Why would anyone want to go for a ride in one?  Running airlines costs millions of dollars.  You won't get there starting with a 172.  You have to think bigger.  Good luck.

Answer 4

I don't mean to question your ambition or fortitude but the days of starting with a small plane and expanding to end up running a large airline is gone with the romance of early air travel.  Money making routes are scarce and well covered unless you can find a market that is not being served you would have little chance to expand.  Men with millions to spend have lost it all trying to break into the airline business.
