Welcome to episode 006 of the #PaxEx Podcast. Benet has written a piece titled “10 passengers you don’t want to see at the airport or on your flight”, and it is generating plenty of discussion on social media and forums. In this episode, we talk to Benet about how passenger etiquette is diminishing while tensions are rising in-flight.
We've previously explored how aircraft seats are getting smaller while passengers are getting larger, but in this episode we take the opportunity to talk to Benet - who self-identifies as a 'passenger of size' - about her personal experiences, how weight is a deterrent to travel, and also how the issue is also impacting her pilot lessons.
Last but not least, we discuss whether or not there are barriers to entry for women in aviation, and consider opportunities for breaking into the field. We also ask Benet to table advice to young girls and women who may be considering entering the industry.
