What would you suggest as a fix to this problem?
Do you want them to charter separate aircraft to move these people around?
What happens when they book 104 seats and 98 people show up?
Are you willing to pay 10-20% more for your tickets?
If I had the power to fix this problem I would make sure I would fix a lot of stuff.
As it is, part of this fix is going to come from an irresistible force, the marketplace and public pressure.
And just like there aren’t any more hijackings, and there are n’t any more planes stopped on the runway for countless hours with passengers trapped inside on the whim of the airline, this kind of unfair treatment is going to stop too.
The airline had years to fix it on their own, they decided to wait until they were forced.
That time is now.
And the beauty of all this is that it’s going to be fixed without an increase in ticket prices.
