I was on it back when it was in closed beta and even went to their launch party. People were even saying how much the quality was declining as the closed beta got larger. It's been a shitfest for a while - it seems tailor-made for blowhards to speak authoritatively without having any real authority on an issue.

The first one is subjective but the second one isn't - and neither are true.
Those are good considerations. However I question this:
would dial back to business and first class only
In other words, you're suggesting that the number of flights would remain the same or near the same, and the seats would just be backfilled with higher-paying customers. That could be a problem, yeah.
My presumption/goal is that you'd need to raise prices enough to make the demand drop sharply at whatever price point be necessary to reduce the number of flights. Airlines would have to price in reduced demand on top of whatever fees are imposed to continue making it worth it to them. If the prices only result in an 80% carbon reduction, raise them some more.
Additionally, at a certain price point it may be that alternative fuels become viable - fees could take this into account to encourage them.
As for trans-ocean flights, these are probably unavoidable, yeah.
Perhaps it could be accomplished by simply limiting the number of permitted flights and allowing prices to float. I suppose that's taking up the same goal from the other end. Whatever happens, it seems inevitable that fewer people will be flying, and they'll be paying more. If we're to tackle the problem at all.
I think one thing that could realistically reduce flying is making it much more expensive. Of course that would exacerbate what this article calls the global justice gap. But sometimes you have to accept a trade-off and I think that could work
I'm not sure why this is regarded as an acceptable source at all, frankly.
Edit: for more detail, the founder of this paper is Seth Klarman, an American billionaire who also founded university campus initiatives that carry water for Israel and engage in anti-muslim and anti-Arab activities in the US. He's also involved in blatant propaganda outfits like MEMRI, CAMERA, and Birthright.
Dave the Diver! It looks so goofy but give it a shot. It's got hilarious cutscenes, and a really well executed blend of roguelike, restaurant game, resource management, and story RPG.
There's no longer a menu of options where we have the luxury of feasible or not feasible, preferable or not preferable. We are in a one-state reality now. All that's left to decide is the degree of strife we're willing to accept.
And this is what is meant by apartheid. It was never a land without a people for a people without a land. There were always people there. This "safety" is predicated upon ethnic cleansing, and Zionism is now inseparable from that. The implicit suggestion is that Jewish safety requires Palestinian oppression. That is not going to work in the long term. And it's not worked so far.
Yikes. This isn't a neurotypical/neurodivergent thing. This is a bad leader.
