The Homa Files

Let me give you a couple of choices:

(a) Smiling is dictated by employer

(b) Fundamentally happy with job & pay

(c) Something else

According to a survey of 718 British cabin attendants by UK The Telegraph, the answer is (c) – something else.

The survey asked the cabin attendants if they had ever broken any of the airlines’ rules.

9 out of 10 answered to the affirmative.

Most of the violations were relatively minor – e.g. accepting tips.

But, some were doozies.

========

Leading the pack: 1 in 5 cabin attendants admitted to having “indulged in sexual relations with a colleague during a flight”

Add to that,  14% said they had had in-flight sexual encounters with passengers.

Whoa, Nellie.

Though there may be some double-counting, that bumps the number up to about 1 in 3.

=======

Bottom line:

The survey might not be projectable to the U.S. but …

Next flight, if a steward or stewardess is smiling like a Cheshire cat, it’s fair game to wonder why.
