Don't know what's in store, but I wish:

1. Major carriers had a full arsenal of airplanes to meet market demand. Big jets for big markets, small jets for new markets, and turboprops for small markets. Regionals/Feeders wouldn't exist.

2. Companies and Unions would meet and say "We want to make money, and we want you to make money"....and would work collectively to make it so, instead of fighting each other.

3. Some re-regulation of the market. Don't give an operating certificate to every entrant just because they can complete the paperwork. Show that they are adding previously unseen service, or competition...but the FAA (or CAB, for those who remember) would keep the total number of ASMs reasonable to ensure at least break-even for operators, and a fair price for consumers.

4. Regulation of Fares. No tickets below expected operating cost.

5. Simplification of Fares. No Wallet-gouging because you have to buy a ticket last-minute for a dying relative. How can a one-way ticket cost twice what a round-trip costs? Would you buy groceries this way? A house? A car? Everytime I buy a ticket, I feel like I'm playing 'Wheel of Fortune".....

Anyway, that's what I would like. But I don't think it will happen.
