Comment on Reinventing the Airline Industryparent

Comments

Agreed. It is annoying when people come up with "radical" solutions to re-vamp an industry simply by ignoring any and all technical constraints.

The situation is akin to the stereotypical boss who knows nothing about computers throwing out silly ideas to his or her hired programmers.

To frame it with something people are a little more familiar with-

"I'm going to revolutionize the automobile industry by offering a car that gets 4x the fuel economy, by doubling the efficiency of the engine and cutting chassis weight in half. The car will be zero emissions, get excellent safety ratings, and offer best-in-class comfort.

Really, I don't understand why no one has thought of this before."
