I feel like there's a short-term solution to this:
You can keep your slot and not fly the plane, as long as you pay some large percentage* of the cost of each ghost trip to the organisation that'd resell your slot. Your 'flight' must be fully crewed.
That way the carbon isn't emitted, (some) jobs are kept secure, and the airline recoups a little of the money they would have otherwise lost.
- Scoundreller 7y agoMakes sense. As the saying goes: "Tax the inelastic".
- wutbrodo 7y agoWhat's the purpose of the "fully crewed" requirement?
- zulln 7y agoGuess it is because this > (some) jobs are kept secure
- woofie11 7y agoSeems like that could be done by paying people, even if they don't show up. "Paying people" seems like a good way to define "crewed"
- wutbrodo 7y agoRight, I guess it just seemed like a huge non sequitur. While we're expanding welfare, why not do it in a more principled and efficient way than "whoever happens to work for an airline right now"
