Having the public lose trust in the safety of flying is absolutely not something you want to happen. This could have devastating effects and I think enough is enough and the government needs to step in and take over running the airlines. It's too important to leave gold hoarding dragons in charge of it.

Silver lining: less flights booked means less emissions for the environment.

I think the problem is that this will likely lead to more driving instead of flying.

As someone who lives on an island, lol. But still a good point assuming a North American car centric viewpoint. I’ll be resorting to wind power, jetski, breath stroke, or airbus. Perhaps other options including rail ( yes we have it on Islands too ) may look competitive again.

They don’t have boats on your island? Sounds like a lack of conviction to me.

Kidding, of course.
