Well, no. If the demand is less, this would trigger low number of flights flying. Basic supply and demand logic in a free market.

In most cases they'd just sell the tickets to non-software engineers who actually value their time (basic supply and demand logic). Maybe we should move to a model where all software conferences are scheduled with an associated Amtrak ticket. Then companies will just have to forgo years of collective productivity as all employees waste a week of their lives sitting on a train. The cognitive dissonance here is deafening.
