This way only the super rich will be able to fly.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoOnly about half of people fly in any one year (in the US). You already need to be better off than the median.
- amelius 9y agoI think it will reduce the amount of flights of average people, not eliminate them. Flying will become more special, that's for sure. The whole flying experience was a lot better in the old days, when indeed flying was special. Also, remember that still most people on this planet can't afford to fly (i.e., even under current conditions). Finally, I wouldn't mind seeing less vacation pictures on Facebook, of the kind "look where I am now!"
- CalRobert 9y agoHow do you propose keeping something cheap while ensuring only a small amount is used? Rationing? I remember when Obama said "Gas under a buck ain't bad" (paraphrased) and was dismayed - you cannot pursue the goal of making something cheaper and reducing it's consumption without something like rationing (or, I suppose, simply making an alternative which is profoundly superior and cheaper, but we haven't got that)
