Hate to disagree but just assuming we have words, nouns, verbs and adjectives will not create a beautiful, elegant and supremely flexible design! There has to be some creativity, skill, experience and abstract thinking alongside many other things to get a system right. Usually on the second try! -Just my thoughts

Don’t know how safety would compare to the big jets, but on the other hand, there was a story in USAToday recently about an increasing number of near-midairs at a lot of the hub airports, and at least you bypass that.

Your friend is either luckier or less selective than me, but as far as that goes, Dayjet might be better…you’re not necessarily flying alone, you’ll get scheduled to go with someone else who’s heading your way…and you’ll have more privacy too

Also, I know someone who used to like to fly so they could make-out with whoever was sitting next to them. That would be impossible in this “New Travel World” that you are suggesting.

On the other hand, I guess I would not worry about hijackings in a small plane where I am the only passenger (or with a few friends).

class A { private Object a1;
public void A( context )
{
try{ this.a1 = context.get(’a1′);}
catch( NullPointerException npx )
{
throw new ApplicationContextX( ‘missing resource a1′ );
}
}

Which can reduce the number of getters and setters, which might not otherwise be necessary.
It also shortens the signature of your constructor, so you don’t end up with constructors that take dozens of arguments.

Inversion of control is particularly useful when encapsulated in a factory.
