Hope your not suggesting that I look like a drunkard at first glance!!!!! thats a joke by the way although it has been said that I do have a certain rough and ready look at times not helped by overnight flights after a month or two in the non tourist spots of the Middle East.
As somebody else has said good manners appear to be largely absent these days although in thirty years as a pax I would have to say that good incidences far outstrip the bad.
I do believe that the budget airlines have a lot to answer for in relation to the increase in bad behaviour (and no I don't think that flying should only be for the rich) my point is that we used to get excellent though brief service on the short haul and now we have to pay through the nose for a cup of tea while the CC are busy counting money and processing credid cards.
Mind you the increase in bad manners are not confined to airline flights as we are all too aware.
I now work in the Far East and SQ are still in the top five.
