Efficiency
Currently, airlines are spending way too much effort *saving* money. Instead, like most businesses, they must be in an environment where they can carry out their operations efficiently and focus on *making* money. This needs to be done in conjunction with government agencies (including those like CISF, ATS etc) so that overall operations are smooth and efficient, and airlines get what they pay for. Some example of impact changes like those will have are
1. Aviation as a whole will grow, thereby paving way for pilots, cabin crew, ground staff etc to progress a natural career progression, have options of working for non-airline ops. Then the airlines probably will not have to *charge* pilots for their own type rating and exploiting employees.
2. Airlines will not have to discourage passengers from getting ticket printouts and charging them Rs. 50, if only someone like CISF accepted e-tickets or were not so security paranoid.
These are just 2 operational examples off the top of my head, but you can see that rationalizing ops will have an impact all over. From what I can see, almost no one wants to do things efficiently around here.
