Heres an interesting idea why not go over to WOW and ask them to add planes? Then you'd have the best of both worlds?
Please let us know the response from the WOW folks.

You did not know WOW has a quest called Aces High in which you dog fight griffins? ( I am not joking)
The next major software task is to bring server based "H2H' arenas , I.E. the ability to start new arenas by paying users on our servers. Something like the OP describe has already been considered, but not decided to code or not.
What the OP is really asking for is geared to the people who use the dueling arena now. He assumes that it would drastically change the quantity of people who wish to play. While it may incrementally (I.E. small amount) increase subscriptions it could also hurt subscriptions.
The one thing this thread does clearly show is the lack of knowledge about who plays online games. I love the stereo typing of how "The people who play my game are much better"
The things I do like about the OP are that it is an idea to add to game play, and not force existing players to play his way, as so many other topics are.
It does not require a many people to reach critical mass like other ideas.
So while the OP is obviously overly optimistic about the effects I give this one a + on the idea scale.
