I'll get on a transatlantic plane without carry-on luggage when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

(Or when they pay me the full replacement price of my checked luggage when I board. On the unlikely chance I ever see it again, and on time too, I'll gladly refund the money... minus a modest handling charge. AND they must have at least three decent full-length novels in the passenger cabin for me, as that's how many I'll need.)

Now if only someone will use this as an excuse to start running high speed transatlantic hydrofoil service... something like the CatFerry but larger. Probably still take about 2 days, but that beats the 6-10 day range now...

Ooo, I'd ride that just to have the experience of it. I wonder to what extent weather could really hose such a thing.
