Not at all. I'm just trying to be realistic. If the corps don't see a benefit in it they won't support it. If they don't support it, ICANN probably won't do it.

>Why should the Internet be exclusively designed for trademark holders and companies?<

It shouldn't. But the way it is now, trademark holders and their lawyers have too much control over all gTLD names. They won't give that up unless there is a better alternative.

>Do so by introducing a limited .air.reg AND an open .air at the same time.<

In some cases I could see that, but I doubt airlines is one of them.
