PEOPLE AT 40,000 FEET ARE STILL PEOPLE: Airline cabin crew reveal their guilty secrets: from sex in the sky to short-changing passengers.

When they were asked what rules they had broken, more than a fifth – 21 per cent – said they had “indulged in sexual relations with a colleague during a flight” while 14 per cent said they had had in-flight sexual encounters with passengers.

The most common “crime” was lying about the availability of products in the in-flight shopping catalogue, presumably because of laziness (28 per cent) while one in five had short-changed passengers.

Asked how much they thought they had pocketed from short-changing passengers per month, the answers averaged out at £331 per year.

Sheesh.
