Airlines are become like Kindergartens
Not really, the problem is the playground mentality of the tabloid press and all that read them.

Aviation has become an easy story these days and sensationalism in rife. Recently a Virgin skipper was arrested because it was suspected that he had been drinking. Big hoo-ha all over the papers.

Very little about the fact he was entirely innocent and his breath smelt a bit funny because he was on the Atkins diet

Everyone seems to be out to get you nowadays - why stick your head above the parapet needlessly.

And speedbrake - I do suggest you never travel in a polyester short-sleeved white shirt with epaulettes; mainly beacause the fashion police will be all over you
