"Not on My Flight" Campaign
The Way to Happiness
as an effective tool to aid “Not On My Flight” campaign achieve its goal*
According to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) every 3 hours the safety of a flight within the European Union is threatened by passengers demonstrating unruly or disruptive behaviour. At least 70% of these incidents involve some form of aggression. At least once a month the situation escalates to such a degree forcing the plane to perform an emergency landing.
These figures are worrying as they demonstrate an increasing trend. What is particularly disturbing is that these incidents have a direct impact on both the safety of crew and passengers. Any kind of unruly or disruptive behaviour whether related to intoxication, aggression or other factors introduces an unnecessary risk to the normal operation of a flight.
The “Not On My Flight” campaign draws attention to examples of unruly behaviour, and the consequences that passengers face. Unruly passengers are a small minority but their actions can have a disproportionate impact on others. Passengers and crew have a right to a safe flight free from disturbance and harassment. The rise in serious unruly passenger behaviour is a great concern to airlines. For more details of the campaign, visit https://www.easa.europa.eu/notonmyflight.

What is The Way to Happiness?
The Way to Happiness is the first non-religious moral code based wholly on common sense, originally published in 1981, its purpose being to help arrest the current moral decline in society and restore integrity and trust to humankind. The Way to Happiness further holds a Guinness Record as the world’s single most translated non-religious book in the world ( over 100 languages).
Written by L. Ron Hubbard, it fills the moral vacuum in an increasingly materialistic society, containing 21 basic principles that guide one to a better quality of life. This code of conduct can be followed by anyone, of any race, colour or creed and works to restore the bonds that unite humankind.
The Way to Happiness is a simple, straightforward and direct guide to good choices. It helps individuals make positive decisions or choices, and those decisions and choices have an effect on everyone.
The principles found in The Way to Happiness are grounded in common sense and written for application. This book is a truly practical and modern guide that anyone can use to confidently steer his or her way to a happier, more successful life. Providing a moral compass to anyone of any race, colour or creed, it successfully bridges cultural, religious and language barriers. And wherever the book is widely distributed, it brings about a safer, less violent environment based on these common sense principles and values.
All of us would like to achieve the goal of commercial air travel free from disruptive, unruly and unsafe passenger behaviour. The Way to Happiness is an effective tool which, if used, can contribute to the achievement of this goal.
