Future of the airlines

[Callous]

Doesn't matter. When the teleporter hits the market in '08 we're all screwed.

Rewatch Star Trek The Movie. They had a few rather greuling accidents using the teleporter. I'm sure even with that tech, most of us will still be employed.

You can't join the mile high club via teleconference...

This whole teleconferencing thing has been happening for a decade and a half. . . capacity is up. Myth!

Airlines make the majority of their money off of business travels, correct? What will happen ten years down the road when technological advances are so amazing that all business is done via teleconference? I assume that with advances in technology that there will be less and less business travellers. So what would the airlines do then?

It's better to have a conference in person. You can tell the reaction of something in front of you alot better. Plus people will travel.
