RE: Is this the end???

Sure. I agree. Planes should be faster, not bigger. Its a cruelty staying more than 12 hours on a plane. Airlines, which are only concerned in profitability and having more and more seats to pack passangers, think that speed is enough. NO…
Aviation needs innovation not only costs per seat. There has´t been any speed improvement since the invention of the jet. Travelling times should be cut.
