Actually, its when kids stop reading they stop dreaming about flying. Toys
R Irrelvant.

That's certainly part of the problem.

Also consider this "How To Enjoy Flying" guide,
as demonstrated by the average person on an airline
flight:

1. There's nothing interesting to see outside. The
Sierra Nevadas are boring (you even feel this way
driving by car and visiting "approved" tourist
destinations). Close the windowshades!

2. When presented with the option of an aerial view
of New York City at night or a magazine, choose the
magazine. Close the windowshade so you don't get
distracted by the dazzling light.

3. When Corky Romano or Dumb & Dumber is shown on
the viewscreen, always pay attention to the film.

4. During dull parts of the flight, listen to your
portable CD or MP3 player. Not because it helps
pass time, but because you're unaware that it's
a dull part of the flight.

5. When the cockpit door is wide open and you're
boarding or debarking, avoid peering inside. There's
nothing relevant in there, and you wouldn't
understand it anyway. It's ok to look and make
sure there's no beer cans, however.

6. When asked what kind of airplane you flew on, make
sure you can't remember. For bonus points, be sure
that you don't even remember the airline.
