The author vastly overestimates peoples willingness to do literally anything that benefits the group rather than themselves.
It does not matter if every single person goes through a six week course on why this system is better: at least 20% will still ignore it to get themselves off the plane sooner. "I have a connection! I'm in a hurry! My Mom is waiting for me!".
You want a better system? Design one that works best when everyone is greedy and maximizing their own benefit.
