IMHO one way to reassure people is to improve train service in Schipol, offer direct train trips to/from more European cities.

Schipol act as a hub, a lot of people fly to Schipol just to take a connection and fly to another city.

Many connection could be train-flight, rather than flight-flight.

I'd like to see a direct connection Schiphol-Frankfurt. There is already a direct connection Schiphol-Paris, there should be air-rail tickets sold on this route just like there are Brussels-Schiphol

given Germanys ineptitude with the bureaucracy around building railroad infrastructure we might see this by 2070, if still alive then.
