    Default Aussie airline bans men from sitting next to unaccompanied minors

    Virgin Australia has a policy of banning men but not women from sitting next to unaccompanied minors:

    Maybe airlines should consider all new facilities to transport men in their planes...

    Lets face it, Steve is scarier without the mask.

    I agree that this is nuts. The whole idea of unaccompanied minors flying around the place....

    I suspect the motive for this is less paranoia about paedophiles, more a roundabout way of assuring male passengers that they won't end up sitting next to some annoying child if they fly Virgin Australia. By putting it this way, they avoid accusations of sexism.

    yip, in this day and age anything you book in advance should at least have the option to be kept away from children.

    I'd love if someone opened an adults only hotel here. No-one under 25 allowed as guests or on staff.
