The price of fuel will continue to skyrocket. Flying will mostly be done by the super wealthy on private jets and 1-2 government spondered airlines. Flying for the middle class and lower upper class no longer exists. More efficient ways of priducing electricity will make nation-wide electric train systems the dominant force in the movement of people and goods. Airline pilots will be well paid, but will all be ex-fighter pilots with presidential recommendations, and backup jobs in the space program.
