modern passengers are basically "walking mozzarella sticks who think that $300 and a photo I.D. gives them the right to fly through the air like one of the guardian owls of legend.

What does that mean? Do you want only Pilots with 5k flying hours minimum on a plane that have a military survival training?

Public transportation needs to be boring, and for some reason airplanes are not there yet it seems.

I don't think airplanes ever will be there. It's just too expensive to fly a plane, there's too much risk, it's never going to be boring to the level of a bus or train.

It could definitely be way closer than it is, though.

Unironically yes. Private air travel needs to die for the planet to survive.
Limit flying to emergencies, organ transport, the military, things like that.
