So technology reduced costs, as a result we shouldn't expect creature comforts?
I mean the cost of computers has fallen dramatically in the last 30 years, should we just learn to live with slow processing speeds?
Airline costs are greatly decreased by technology I'd imagine. Not to mention I think pilots are paid considerably less comparably. Etc.
That doesn't even bring into conversation the economies of scale created by increased fliers etc.
