I've got a great idea. Why don't we invite all passengers to pay 3 times the fare that they are presently paying so that we can spend the extra 66% on the specialised training and experience that they are demanding.

I can think of nothing nicer than being allowed to fly an empty 747 for 100 hours between international airports just to keep them happy.

On the other hand, any airline that tried this idea would never get another passenger on to their aeroplanes. Passengers' pockets are usually deeper than the Mariana Trench and their understanding of aviation matters is usually in inverse proportion!

What a shame!
