I may be deviating slightly from the subject but I recently saw a letter sent to my friend who is cabin crew with a large UK charter airline. It was from his employer and the subject of the letter was methods to improve in-flight sales. I don't remember the exact wording but it told them to push alcohol sales on board - if someone orders one vodka ask them if they'd like two etc.

Now I'm sure this is nothing new nor is it restricted to this one airline but if this is the mentality/attitude coming from above what hope do we have? An airport policeman recently told me that many courts are losing sympathy with airlines coping with drunk passengers due to the above reason ie the airlines (and airports) are bringing the problems on themselves.
