Glad someone at last has raised the issue of paxs' reactions. Flying is for the majority of people a nail biting experience and increased security, essential as it is, doesn't help. I speak as someone who refuses to drive from Scotland to any of the other big cities in the UK because of the mayhem on the motorway system and refuses to use trains because of their unreliabilty, I take coaches instead and use taxis. I've also cancelled two non-business jaunts since WTC....one to Los Angeles and one to Portugal....I don't need the hassle of three hour check-ins and hanging about crowded airsides bored witless (s***less?). Admittedly I'd have a hell of a job finding a Scotland-Lax or Scotland-Lisbon coach service service but what the hell there are other things to do . Airline Marketing people ....note. And watch what the take up of RyanAir's £10 go-anywhere offer is.
