Harsh words from DoleBoy.
Sorry for the tardy reply; been on an early.
You are quite correct; P2F is rather unique and likely to remain so.
I believe this can be attributed to the fact that flying is a 'blue collar' function that enjoys the perception of huge kudos. Remember we all seek remuneration for something that many enjoy as a hobby.
P2F exists because there is a strong demand for the service.
Folks want to get the gold bars on and fly aeroplanes, the rest is market forces. The good news is that we can enjoy some cheap airfares on the back of Daddy's boy so it aint all bad news. I am grateful that some stock broker in Chigwell is paying my airfare for me; albeit via his grinning child and MOL or Mr Curd. Everyones happy - why can't you be?
