Isn't the whole point of that bit that we've become spoiled and indifferent, to the point where we no longer appreciate how amazing and futuristic our world has become?
I think you're right, but it's hard to argue that flying is both an amazing human achievement and is also just the worst.
Edit: Wow, re-listening to the bit, my memory definitely failed me. Basically a rant on how we should be grateful that airline companies are even able to get a plane in the air. I think we can do better, personally.
