I'm inclined to agree with acropolite. At the rate our resources are dwindling and the damage being done by our way of life it's more likely there will be a slowing down of travel rather than a speeding up. Looking at the advances in communications over the last 50 years I would reckon that at least 50% of the non holiday air travel is unneccessary. Why fly 2000 miles to present a paper or talk with a customer when it could be done by satellite video link. Answer, one of the perks, get to travel to another city or foriegn country at the companies expense. Time to get back to the old wartime slogan "Is Your Journey Really Neccessary"
