Air Rage: Crisis in the Skies

In recent years, aberrant and abusive behavior by passengers on commercial airlines has become an increasingly common problem. This behavior--popularly known as "air rage"--is by far the greatest threat to the safety and security of the 1.5 billion passengers who travel by air each year. In AIR RAGE you'll find out the fundamental causes of air rage: alcohol and drug abuse, mental illness, the "cattle-class" conditions in overcrowded airplanes, the economic realities of the airline business, failure to report air-rage incidents, and the lack of consequences for perpetrators.

This important, intensively researched book uses actual air rage incidents to illustrate the scope of the air rage problem, presenting real solutions to the problems posed by this emerging crisis in the skies, solutions that are needed before it's too late.
