What if all the airline head honchos woke up one day and said there will be no more mileage programs...
and they also said, "what idiots we have been making air travel so complex. Let's put seats on our airplane in all sections that are big enough to hold a normal human being. Lets make sure that flights over a few hours have those seats spaced out enough so that people can recline and sleep without slamming in to each other. Let's publish in advance the time when we want the people to be at the gate, the time the flight pushes back from the gate, the flight time, the time it is likely to land, and the time we will actually let people de-plane. Let's provide decent edible food throughout the plane, and allow those who want fancy dining and wine service to sit in an area where they can pay extra for it. Lets charge everyone what it costs to provide that seat, plus a reasonable profit, for every seat, all the time, 3 months or 3 hours before the flight. Let's only sell tickets for the seats we actually have on the plane. Let's make the airline commerce industry as easy and straightforward as say......buying paint from a paintstore........Nah!"

May each of us have our dreams come true in the new millinneum. Happy new year!
