1) OP's opinions about flight attendant pay are his. Others think it's a bit more exciting to fly around the world than to manage a McD's, and that pay isn't the only measure of comp. 2) There are many things OP could do besides starting his own airline. Do some Kickstarter like thing for the ostensibly underpaid flight attendants. Do a Hipmunk like thing where there's a wage surcharge on each ticket, given directly to the flight attendants. In short, do something to put money in their pocket rather than pointing a finger at Branson, the guy who is actually putting money in their pockets today. Otherwise, it's all too easy to be generous with other people's money.
