The airlines should be charging a fee for baggage. If someone wants to bring luggage, it should not be considered a right, but a privilege. While we are at it, the people in coach should be charged per peanut in their bag of peanut (sic). Perhaps we should stop adding 3 ice cubes per beverage and use only 1. As a result, the airlines would be lugging around less frozen water.

Do flights really need a "co-pilot"? Can't they get by with just the pilot and navigator? Come on, I have a million ways for the airlines to save money. Hire me, and forget the multi-million dollar salary. All I would want as a CEO is not to have to stand in line with the coach passengers.
