Claim: “almost 90% of flight crews break airline rules, and “21 percent said they had ‘indulged in sexual relations with a colleague during a flight’ and 14 percent said they’ve engaged in sexual relations with passengers.”” I’m skeptical the real numbers are that high.

Some of the stuff I’ve seen was surprisingly open.
I don’t think you see too many FA’s sitting on passengers’ laps for extended “photos” on other carriers, and I doubt Branson would complain
Your BA blogmate Lucky had a hand job from an FA on a flight. Not as uncommon as you might think that things go on.
Gary-
When you the term ‘inflight sex’, do you mean with another person?
