I'll stop complaining about commercial flight when somebody figures out a viable business model for it. I have repeatedly read that the total profit of all airlines over the period since the first began flying is less than zero--a loss. That means that either airlines have to cut corners severely or the prices eventually have to go up. We need alternatives, not just for people like me who prefer some other way to get from point a to point b but also for those who like to fly, because the present system is a failure. It's even possible that flying for the masses simply cannot be done at a price point the masses are willing or able to pay.
