At least we are in agreement about this. What percentage of the 500,000 human beings suspended above this planet at any one time are really doing anything worthwhile? It's a damn small percentage, but we really do blow through a few million tons of 'jet A' every year for the sake of folly, vacations and out-of-season fruit.

People love flying [other than security, queues and officials and hassles]. It makes people feel important and gets them away from their humdrum lives.

But, if it's economic in their value system, and they pay their own ticket, so what?
