I mean nobody's really paying $10, it's $10 but then there's an extra $30 fee if you want your plane to actually land instead of bailing out over the North Sea.
All this is really going to do is make airlines compete over who can offer the best amenities at whatever the new minimum price is; I doubt it'll dissuade many people from taking them.
That and results in some more disparities between wealthy and commoners… the former will still take any flight they fancy while the later won’t get to travel anymore. The same that get shafted already by the shitty context. I find this a difficult point to tackle.
