Sign of the times alas?
(My first post on PPrune!)
I'm only a moderately frequent passenger, usually on business, but I really think there's no excuse for ignoring the basic rules of politeness; am I unusual in that respect? Most of my flights are long haul, and I can't help thinking that if we're going to be together for 9+ hours then it's in everyone's interests to make it as pleasant as possible.
Anyway I've never quite got over the feeling that flying is actually something a little bit special. Those who do it for a living probably don't feel the same way!
