Ethics

AB is a large airline. A recent survey of its passengers indicated that 65% had problems due to other passengers allowing their children to create noise and disturbance on the aircraft. Families make up around 15% of AB’s total passengers.

Which of the following courses of action would be regarded as a utilitarian point of view?

A Do nothing, as families rights should be protected

B Refuse to allow bookings for families

C Provide entertainment for children on board to keep them occupied

D Create a separate section on the planes for families with children

Answer is B. Why D is not the answer as we are doing for greater good. Neither shareholders has to use more investment nor other people will be disturbed. Families will also have privacy.
