No-one's addressed the socio-cultural issues that come from this take-over.If Ryanair and easyjet continue at this pace then will the conventional airlines eventually all disappear?They have collared short-haul.How long before they ease the big carriers out of long-haul as well?Is it just healthy competition or a reflection of the chav society.After all demand dictates the supply.People want cheap travel.But wheres the style and mystique of air travel gone?Will we see a two-tier system in 10 years time?Low cost vs all-business class carriers with the big nationals consigned to the rubbish bin of history?And if you cant afford the Silverjet prices,what do you do?Shave your head,buy an ear-ring and change your name to Darren?They've taken away our right to smoke in pubs,theres nothing but chav reality shows on TV these days,you cant drive anywhere without speed cameras,and now if you have to fly somewhere chances are you will be rubbing shoulders with Kevin or Sharon as you tuck into your 3.99 sandwich.Last week a man got a couple of years for urinating on a dying woman.Have the chavs won?Discuss.
