Different air stewardesses have different levels of tolerance.

To some, a tap on the back or a touch on the waist is considered molest.

But others would only scream molest when it involves touching of the breasts or butt, a Singapore Airlines air stewardess told The New Paper.

She recalled how she was once molested by a male passenger, who purposely stuck his elbow out whenever she walked past him on the narrow aisle on board a flight. But she did not pursue the matter with him.

Her story is just one of a number of molest cases that happened on airplanes that go unreported.
