My bad, I actually have not read the guidelines in a while, but it would've made sense not to reply to your original short comment. Thank you for elaborating.

Once the market situation changes (already did, actually) these things will change too. Regulations, slots & unions are things to have during the good times. Unions won't save you when there's no demand, no one will buy slots when there's no demand, regulations are useless if no one is flying.

I'm not sure why such a negative reaction. I don't know this person either, I thought the idea was interesting. Nobody asks you to "believe" anyone and no one is selling you anything.

I think there's an important truth to learn from your comment: economics actually guides better approaches to development and design and helps to avoid premature/unnecessary optimization. There are probably many great solutions that can be invented, but unless you start thinking about economics of them, you're not working on making them truly remarkable.
