30 July 2013, Cape Town \u2014 Men\u2019s interest in trading one night stands with pilots for free flights declines dramatically with age \u2013 men under the age of 31 are the most interested demographic (40% of them are keen), compared to only 21% of men aged 31 to 60, and only 9% of men over the age of 60. This contrasts with only only 6% of females being willing to trade an evening with a pilot for a free flight, and the percentage being fairly constant for females across age groups (7% of females younger than 31, 5% of females aged from 31 to 60, and 7% of females older than 60).<\/p>\n

Arts and Culture Minister Paul Mashatile said \u201cWe must use Moral Regeneration Month and beyond as a time of national reflection\u201d. SouthAfrica.TO\u2019s contribution is publishing this survey of 1608 South Africans\u2019 opinions on a question of morality, asking participants whether they\u2019d be willing to have a one-night stand with a pilot in exchange for a free flight. This survey can be redone annually to assess how the country\u2019s opinion on the issue has changed.<\/p>\n

Ninety percent of South Africans are against this, and many are repulsed by the thought of it, citing the fact that they\u2019re married, their fear of God, their Christian beliefs and their fear of disease such as HIV. \u201cI\u2019m a Christian and Married! Otherwise I would have\u201d, said a respondent.<\/p>\n

Many respondents qualified their answer saying that given the right circumstances they would go for it, the most common requirements being that the pilot be of the opposite gender and attractive, with one gentleman replying that he\u2019d require his wife\u2019s permission too : \u201cAlthough the pilot must be female and pretty and my wife must approve too\u201d. Some would only do it if it were an overseas flight, and others felt one free flight was not enough, but for more they\u2019d go for it.<\/p>\n

South Africans gradually become more and more averse to trading a 1 night stand with a pilot for a free flight as they get older, with the percentage declining from 16% under the age of 31 to 5% over the age of 70. This is in line with the many responses where people listed their (old) age as being an obstacle : \u201cI don\u2019t think he would like a One Night stand with ME! Sadly I am too old now.\u201d said one person.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re a pilot looking for a one-night stand it\u2019s best to avoid the Free State North-West Provinces where 0% of respondents would be willing \u2013 rather maximise your chances by spend your time in Mpumalanga where 13% are interested or the Western Cape (12%).<\/p>\n
