Low cost airlines just encourage poor people to travel. The VFR/point to point leisure market is even worse.They should be working, not visiting Aunt Betty in Mildura on a $69 fare.
When they do, all they do is spread diseases like STIs or COVID..... Bring back a regulated airline industry, increase airfares so YSSY-YMML is back around $500 each way. Safety will improve and carbon emissions will reduce.
Alfred E. Kahn publicly commented that the deregulation the American airline industry in the late 1970's was the worst recommendation he ever made.
I am sorry for the Bonza staff - but the spread of Syphilis and COVID will reduce and the environment will also be better for it...
Air travel should be on a cost plus basis and only those who work hard and earn a decent income should be allowed to fly...
