No, it's not complicated at all. Just sell "standby" tickets and "guaranteed seat" tickets.

The problem is that right now every ticket is effectively a standby ticket, and this is buried in the fine print.

I keep explaining to you, in good faith, based on 10+ years in this industry, why things aren't all they seem, and you keep inventing new reasons why it really should be that simple but that you seem to think nobody has thought of yet.

A lot of people have thought a lot about these problems for a long time now.

Many of them are both clever and well-intentioned.

I understand that last sentence is where we differ.

So I guess we're done here.

You've chosen to invoke an Argument By Authority, so I guess you're right.
