Have you looked at the proposed connections? The only ones that don't have existing flight between them are Cheyenne/Denver and Denver/Pueblo. There are already existing passenger train routes for these connections. There are direct flights from Cheyenne to Pueblo.
You don't need to spend 30 minutes waiting to bring air pressure down to a vacuum with a train, nor 30 minutes waiting for air pressure to come back up on the other end.
The margin for catastrophic failure on the Hyperloop will be very low, so security will be closer to what you get at an airport rather than what you get at a train station.
Have you seen the prototypes for the Hyperloop passenger areas? There's no overhead luggage storage (there isn't even room for overhead storage, so your luggage will have to go into some sort of storage bay, even bags that would be carry-on size with an airplane. So you will have to add time for luggage check-in, luggage loading, luggage unloading, and luggage pick-up.
So, no, Hyperloop will not be closer to the train scenario than the plane scenario.
How are people not seeing this as the most likely scenario? Everyone seems to be thinking that it will operate exactly like it does today, only without a driver.
They could better work schedules around when people are home than they can with human drivers. They might actually eliminate the problem of the recipient not being home.
How will operating the fleet between 6 and 9 PM not work for people who work 8 AM - 5 PM? This system could actually make it less likely to have missed deliveries.
He should just publish his findings in a journal. As long as you've passed peer review, no one cares what your title is, or if you've registered to use that title.
Which isn't her fault. This is a case of she doesn't know what she doesn't know. No one buys a phone and then says "gee, I better study up on the past 3 decades of the collective thought of another country."

I'm pretty sure that planes can travel at speeds in excess of 27 mph.

There's a word for people who cling to disproven theories: morons.
It was an encyclopedia.
It's not clear from your comment whether you're mocking morons who listen to Alex Jones or if you are a moron who listens to Alex Jones.
seems to be "let me tell you how unbelievably stupid I am".
So what you're saying is that, like all right wing scumbags, you're a complete idiot.
I would buy a new Mac but the offerings from Apple are even more pathetic than in 2010.
Or you could look for a computer that isn't a Veblen good.
Studies show people enjoy stories more if the ending's been "spoiled".
Maybe suicide rates are affected by the fact that they're subjected to constant hate spewed by bigoted morons.
Maybe they could analyze the video for signs that the cop wearing the body cam is about to murder someone.
Then the package will come to when you are home.

Which is it? Outside the realm of his field, or a Physics 101 problem?

And then right wingers wonder why all the sane people call them stupid.
he doesn't have Hitler's rabid hatred of any minority
Except, you know, the Kurds
So you're saying we shouldn't allow you to use technology?
They can delete the obviously fake ratings.
