How many of us, I wonder, remember Damania Airlines and the sensation it caused nearly 25 years ago by serving liquor on domestic flights? Other than smart crew and spanking new aircraft, their real USP was serving liquor on board domestic flights. The denouement was swift and decisive: With one fell swoop, serving of liquor was banned on all domestic flights. So, the misuse of a facility open to the public brought no punishment or shame to the offender. It is accepted that the service is truly needed and the fact that it is exploited by some calls for punishing those people but not for abolishing the service as a whole.
