Respect rules

I wish I was a frequent traveller but my profile is something which does not permit me to always travel besides the usual annual leaves that we all have. Travelling through airlines has now become such an inconvenience.

One thing I perceive as I scroll through many videos is the ruckus that many passengers create in the flight and in the airport. No one owns the aircraft and the airport hence it’s our responsibility to respect the laws and regulations, report on time.

In an airline industry, cancellations, flight delays due to adverse weather conditions service issues, technical issues are predicted. There are airline safety rules and regulations that are imposed. We as humans need to remember that it’s the whole flight that is getting annoyed due to someone’s unruly, lax and callous sort of attitude thinking they are hero’s and heroines.

These days passengers tend to vent their anger in the flight on another passenger for something trivial. Since these days we have smart phones in our hands, scenes gets clicked and it goes viral.

From breaking the emergency window to physical assault, some getting drunk, having heated altercations with the crew and other fellow passengers this seems to be now a daily part and parcel which many of us abhor to invite and accept.

These days passengers just want to reach their destination safely and passengers like me would love to have a splendid peaceful flight and not travel to listen to someone’s annoyance getting troubled.
