Maybe after they use GPS on the planes and change the design of the planes to be more fuel efficient. Don't expect it anytime soon. I yearn for the day when airlines are exclusive once again.

That would cost us a couple million dollars to implement. I am just fine with using waypoints and Jeppesen charts, and so is everyone else considering it's been around forever and doesn't cost nearly as much.
They do have some designs that work that use something similar to a stealth bomber design that can save quite a bit of fuel. The problem with those is that the FAA won't let them use it because emergency exits are harder to get to. Sounds like a crock considering if you ever crash in an airplane you are pretty much fucked anyways. I'd rather sign a waiver to ride on the cheaper plane if they are just concerned about safety.That's being worked on, ask Airbus and Boeing. I can't see airfares coming down anytime soon, except that we are working our way into the off season for air travel. I, along with many other people, would like to see air travel become exclusive again; but now that so many people only think of it as nothing but a nuisance I can't see that happening either.
Millions is chump change, we pay trillions in handouts and nobody seems to care. I read that using GPS would save something like 30% in gas alone with current designs.

Question for anyone who might be in the know:
You read where?
They could pay the crews more to compensate. People would still do it, especially since jobs are leaving left and right. Either way, you are way more likely to get injured in a car accident than in a plane accident or skydiving.But you know everyone would ***** about this too, just like they do with everything associated with airlines. Not to mention the employees- how thrilled would you be about being assigned as a crew member on the "less safe" aircraft? I wouldn't be all that excited.
Question for anyone who might be in the know:
Can't remember where, some cheesy science magazine like Popular Mechanics. My numbers are probably off I just remember it said GPS would save money in the long run but a pain to implement.

Southwest Airlines is the American equivalent. The majority of Ryanair flights are priced so low because of the short distance they cover (such as London-Paris, etc) where flights Southwest flies are generally more of a distance away. Generally the airlines in the United States aren't all that well off at the moment.
RyanAir also nickels and dimes you. Miss your flight, no chance at re-scheduling. Want to check in luggage? Be prepared to pay. Southwest is the best airline in the US and I fly with them exclusively for domestic flights. They have a good business model and great service. The only thing I hate is their hideous business casual attire and cheesy heart logo.
