Reply #14: everyone has choices-- we simply choose not to make difficult ones....

If air travel becomes difficult enough, or insulting enough, people WILL find a way to make other choices. What you're telling me is that it isn't bad enough yet to drive you to alternatives. It HAS driven me to seriously curtail my flying-- I make other travel arrangements, or I don't travel-- one of the ways I've dealt with the issue is by dramatically reducing my professional travel. I did fly this summer, for the first time since 2002. It wasn't as bad as in the first year after 2001, but it still wasn't very pleasant.
