I can't imagine that anyone who has frequented FT and airports enough can be surprised that there is 0% correlation between travel frequency \ wealth \ status and poor behaviour. Some people at all levels behave badly and some behave well. Thank goodness you seldom notice the vast majority of normal sensible people, hence why this thread is *a thing*. I have FT to thank for explaining to me what a Karen is, otherwise I would have had no idea.
