Sadly, because our rail system here in the US sucks, people have virtually no alternative when traveling long distances.

As I offered the concept of a higher price for better service, I think that would work on a limited basis. Offering a "premiere" flight experience on certain coast to coast flights or certain flights like NYC to Chicago or LA to Chicago, I honestly believe people would jump at the chance.

It will be interesting to see what happens in Europe no that competion will be allowed regarding the rail service. I will be interested to see how it effects the airline industry over there.

Cheers.
