Bravo. I should have chosen my word more carefully, and you have a valid point.

Someone once told me... all things are simple, people make things complicated.

The fact that such a large percentage of air travel passengers can't (or don't? or won't?) just turn around and walk away is more a judgment of passengers then air travel.

Why is it that large percentages of passengers aren't just... turning around and walking away?
