Flying the friendlier skies?

Airlines offer videos on air etiquette

Airlines and customers have differed on what it means to be a good traveler. Southwest Airlines Co. was criticized for telling a young woman in July that her outfit was too revealing to fly. Chief Executive Gary Kelly issued an apology to the young woman, Kyla Ebbert, that was read on "The Dr. Phil Show."

COMMENT: Part of the problem is that airlines haven't properly educated the public on what to expect aboard a plane. If people don't know how to behave long before adulthood, they are certainly not going to be receptive to a short animated film on the airplane. Unfortunately if they are already ill-mannered adults, their children will be the same.
