Evidence of frequent flying by Wrathers
A survey of 2,000 women who worked for a national airline found more than one in five said they had suffered sexual harassment from passengers with one in 20 having to fend off unwanted advances in the past year.
The threat was greater still from members of the crew with almost half of the women saying they had had to put up with offensive remarks or lewd behaviour by colleagues or superiors.
More than one in 10 said they had had to fend off a colleague in the past 12 months and, in a third of the cases, the incident was of the most severe type.
Sexual harassment was classified as receiving unwanted attention, being propositioned, groped, subjected to offensive remarks about personal appearance, shown sexually explicit material, being threatened, blackmailed, or subjected to attempted non-consensual sexual acts
