Airplane etiquette violations can have serious consequences. In one case, a businessman and female executive met on an American Airlines flight from Dallas to London. They became drunk, undressed and had sex in business class. Although they were asked to behave by fellow passengers, flight attendants and the pilot, they persisted. The executives ultimately lost their jobs, were fined heavily in British courts and became an inspiration for late night television jokes.
