I agree but, unfortunately:
  • Human beings always want more for less money and less money always wins
  • The economies of (almost) the entire Western world are in recession or teetering on the brink.
  • They will remain so for at least another five years.
  • They are unlikely to ever recover to the times of 1995~2007.
  • Humans still want to travel like it was 1995~2007 and so are choosing to go for the cheapest seats.
  • Airlines seats are a bargain for what you get.
  • Most airlines are not making money and have to make further cutbacks.
  • Their P.E. / Biz / First pax remain a small percentage, crucial though they are.
  • Charging their economy customers more is just not viable.
  • Sorry
