Why bad passengers are mostly men
A study has found the most likely candidate for bad plane etiquette is a man who seldom flies. In a new paper that surveyed 750 adults in the US, a researcher aimed to see if he could paint a portrait of the bad passenger. Participants were asked how likely they would be to exhibit certain behaviours in-flight. The list of offences included not waiting to recline their seat back until the plane reached cruising altitude, not washing hands after using the lavatory and cursing at fellow flyers. The findings suggest that the more seasoned the flyer, the less boorish their in-flight manners. ÒWhat this suggests is that being a pleasant airline passenger depends, in part, on how many times you have flown. There appears to be a learning curve,Ó the researcher said. <br/>
