Sex And The…. Airplane?
Some flight attendants in Thailand are upset with a television show that they say paints them in a bad light. The show, War of Angels, depicts the romantic hijinks of fictional flight attendants and pilots.
BANGKOK (AFP) – Thai flight attendants on Monday lodged a formal complaint against a TV company for airing a salacious soap opera portraying female cabin crew fighting for the affections of a pilot.
Krishnaratn Puranarasamriddhi, vice president of the Thai Airways labour union, said "War of Angels", which aired earlier this month on Channel Five, ignored all the important safety and customer service work carried out by flight attendants."It is exaggerated," he told AFP. "It portrays bad images of our crew and it violates the crew's dignity."
Well, we can see how they could be upset by all this negative publicity. After all, the flight attendants aren't Australian.
CANBERRA (Reuters) – Two in three Australian travellers are either members of the notorious Mile High Club or would like to be a member, a survey showed on Monday.
Asked if they would consider a mid-air sexual encounter, almost half of 1,110 people surveyed wanted an adventure, while 12 percent already had mile-high membership wings."People are obviously looking for more stimulating entertainment than a movie or a CD when travelling by plane," Totaltravel.com global marketing manager Paul Fisher said.
A flight attendant for Australia's flag carrier Qantas was sacked last year after claiming to have had a tryst with actor Ralph Fiennes in a business class lavatory during a flight from Darwin to Mumbai.
Singapore Airlines last November asked passengers on its new super jumbo Airbus A380 aircraft, which had its maiden commercial flight from Singapore to Sydney, not to seek Mile High Club membership in first class cabins, which boast a double bed.

“Does Boeing offer an optional condom dispenser for their aircraft?”
Gaius, I think you’ve discovered a new market – and a way for airlines to supplement their income. They should all just install those restroom condom machines in he aircraft restrooms. They might make a very respectable amount of secondary cash – especially if they fly in and out of Australia!
