That's another way of saying, "People can't easily afford the fares that airlines require to run a safe and effective business."
Which means that, as good and responsible capitalists, the airlines should either come up with new and better ideas that allow them to prosper by offering safe and efficient service at a reasonable price. Or go out of business and be replaced by something that can do it better.
Being that corporations are actually, in the main hierarchies of timid and unimaginative people dominated by unimaginative and manipulative people with no societal conscience (that's not what they're paid for, after all), the airlines will probably 1) try to slip by offering with substandard maintenance until they're called on it, and 2) ask Uncle Sugar to bail them out, like before.
Meanwhile, teleconferencing technology continues to improve.
