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.

Exactly, and not enough demand for aircraft to support all the current manufacturers.

I guess we could all travel by ship staying in steerage.

If you remove the middle-class....then a airport at Edinburgh, Manchester City, Stuttgart, or Koln...will have no more than 10 flights a day, and has no need to be the size they are currently.

With less of a workload, the DEIs might be able to do a wee little better maintenance.

FEWER FLYERS === FEWER AIRPLANES==FEWER JOBS==CRIPPLING ECONOMY.
