twenty-something airlines

Our basic theory is that airlines should operate less like "window or aisle" and more like a dating service. Fill out some kind of description of your conversational preferences before the flight and maybe you'll avoid the twerpy all-elbows 13-year-old-going-on-ten in favor of someone a little more interesting. It would be a good excuse to have decent food on airplanes again too. Another element of the theory concerns the creation of a new class of service below "economy," tentatively called "crying baby class" and isolated via soundproof walls.
