Agree. (This is the same problem, BTW, that is addressed by private
aircraft. It's the reason we can easily beat the airlines to
Florida from Iowa, even though I'm only flying at 160 mph.)

If commercial flights were as easy as flights in a private plane (and
they once were, although they aren't now), I'd still be finding
excuses to fly from place to place, as flying itself is fun. But
flying is only the tip of the iceberg nowadays, and the rest of the
overhead completely erases the fun of flight on a commercial airliner.

When I was a boy, people in Iowa City routinely flew United and Ozark
Air Lines to anywhere in the country. This was possible because the
US Air Mail paid the airlines to fly mail to hundreds of smaller
airports, like Iowa City -- and the passengers were literally just
gravy. (They broke even whether they carried passengers or not.)

Some commercial airline flights are the same way, depending on the
route.
