a good idea?
    #5959178 - 08/13/06 01:22 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

What if an airline were opened that just said "fuck it" to all these new rules and regulations and saftey checks before boarding planes? Sort of like a, "If you don't mind the risk, you can bring whatever." I don't mean knives and guns and stuff obviously, but say this airline went back to the not so strick way of airtravel from 10-15 years ago?

I'm sure tons of people, myself included, would "risk" going on these planes to avoid all the hassle you have to deal with at airlines these days.

This is only hypothetical, if you don't think it will work, say why. I really don't know much about how much the government controls airlines. What if it's a private company that builds its own airports? Can the government regulate that with super security checks?

Say it just starts off as only available to the continental united states, so there's no worrying about foriegn travel.

They wouldn't get a licence to operate by the regulator (the FAA in the US)

Airtravel is strictly regulated, which is a good thing in general, making sure airplanes are properly maintained, pilots are properly certified etc. The downside is that it suffers more from the political whims of the day, and the one thing the government doesn't want is for you to ignore terrorism. You might even stop being afraid and realize that you have a greater chance to win millions in the lottery than to get hit by a terrorist attack.

Before you know it people would start voting according to rational decision making. Now we wouldn't want that, would we?

Even if you look past the regulations and such...

Private airports...
Private airplanes...
Private pilots...
Private airport workers...

That's a lot of money we're talking.
