Progress, ever forward
If the average person is priced out of flying, there won’t be enough people flying to support the current aviation system in America.
There will considerable consolidation of carriers and fewer of them.
With technology, there is less of a need for corporate travel as years ago.
It’s logical, if the overall number of people flying drops considerably, the number of aircraft needed to carry them will be reduced as well.
15 minute cities.
They told us the plan.
...while being happy in our 15-minute cities, watching our betters fly over on the way to and from their privileged destinations.
At least there’ll be fewer annoying female “travel bloggers” posting selfies on Instagram.
Why we need teleportation portals in every home now.
That’s the idea.
Can’t have freedom to travel for the unwashed. They’re harder to control that way.
Then "they" decreed that Co2 (of all things) was the boogeyman.
Basically, we're screwed.
Priced out of flying? C’mon...that’s only a small part of what Western Maoists have in store for we “little people”! We’ll be priced out of protein...health care...heat...water...
Return to bow flying was in the 70’s might not be such a bad thing.
“decarbonisation” is pure fraud. Airlines that exploit it will go bankrupt.
All part of the plan. Beef and mobility will be for elite only.
Meanwhile....no mention of banning private jets.
Flying in the 1960’s was comparatively a lot more expensive than it is today.
Nowadays I hear a lot of folks lamenting that we should go back to the Golden Age of flying, but that kind of luxury doesn’t come cheap.
You want to fly on what is basically a Trailways Bus with wings, then don’t complain that it isn’t as luxurious or as “exclusive” as it once was. You want the “masses” to be able to fly cheaply, you get to ride on a cramped bus with wings. You can’t have it both ways.

I hate flying, have not done so for about five years till this past week. Wow, including the TSA now taking face photos for our protection, to seats that are about the size of a sardine can, to the single narrow aisle on most planes making a trip to the head a nightmare, it is less than pleasurable experience. Apparently, no curb side check in, now it is self service at least on American plus a per bag fee. I fondly recall travel on wide bodies with actual metal utensils and free flowing wine. Nada today. Yeah I know, I could have taken out a loan and flown first class but I decided to not do that so it is all on me.
I say this from perspective of someone with over 1MM miles over 50 years.
The one positive was the flights were basically on time, except for one connection while we waited for a captain to show up on an incoming flight on another aircraft. At least his name was Bill and he seemed normal as he was chatting up one of the female attendants before blastoff.
If the UN becomes the World Government before 2050 the planet will be one giant detention camp
Decarbonisation on a carbon based planet is insanity . The Paris Agreement 2015 LOL Paris again
And priced out of owning the car.
“Sustainable Aviation Fuel”
Rather pointless - it doesn’t result in lower CO2 emissions and there will be plenty of oil left when motor vehicles are solar-powered EVs.
Not to worry. Flying will be obsoleted by high speed rail in underground tunnels
THey need all those flights so they can bring in millions of ‘refugees’ to the heart of America to rape and kill your families.
