……………………………………………………………………………
By Derek Brown
Airlines and their long-suffering customers are reporting a steep climb in air rage incidents.
Some incidents are apparently caused by problems which are familiar to many regular travelers. One
case reported from America stemmed from an interminable delay in takeoff, when passengers were
cooped up in their aircraft on the tarmac for four hours, without food, drink or information. Mass unrest
is less common than individual misbehavior, as in the case of the convict who recently went crazy on a
flight, attacked the crew and tried to open a door in mid-flight.
The psychology of air rage is a new area of study, and there are almost as many explanations as
examples. Most analysts of the phenomenon blame alcohol, but many people now think that the airlines
are at fault. To cut costs, they are cramming ever more passengers into their aircraft, while reducing
cabin crew, training and quality of service, all of which increase passenger frustration. In addition, there
is increasing concern in the US about another cost-cutting exercise, which could seriously harm
passengers’ health: cabin ventilation.
Modern aircraft are equipped with sophisticated air conditioning devices-but running them at
optimum capacity burns up valuable aviation fuel. Many airlines routinely instruct their flight crews to
run the systems on minimum settings. Campaigners for improved air quality claim that this can lead to
irritability and disorientation.
In the US, the soaring number of passenger complaints across a wide range of issues is reflected
in a number of new Internet sites which criticize the airlines and demand better service. One of the sites
is demanding an air passengers’ Bill of Rights.
Cabin and flight crews, who are in the front line of the battle against disruptive and dangerous
in-flight behavior, have called for stiffer penalties against the offenders. Management have also called
for legislation-while denying that its cost-cutting practices have contributed to the problem. But there
are some signs, in the US at least, that the airlines are at last attempting to respond to customer
dissatisfaction. Some major lines have announced concessions to the most frequent complaint of all,
and are removing seats to make more room for their customers.
