I've always loved flying and treated the air travel as part of the journey (unlike most folks nowadays, I suspect). Thanks to the stupid security nonsense and the poorer service, I'm now much more reluctant to fly, especially if I wouldn't be able to fly enough to get elite status. If I need to go somewhere within USA, I look to either taking the train or driving before considering air travel--and this from someone who love being up in the air, cruising over fascinating landscape, the takeoff and landing parts, admiring other airliners, enjoying the lounges, F/J classes, etc.

Traveling overall is still fun, but not the air part, and I will probably fly as little as possible until everyone come to their senses, if ever!

Only if we can combine the best of both worlds (flying more civilly and being able to take advantage of latest technologies).....
