Virgin Atlantic Issues 'Weep Warnings' On Flights

The warning will appear before the start of an in-flight movie, to help passengers make emotionally-sound decisions.
The move came after a survey found that 55 percent of passengers polled said their emotions became more heightened during flight. 41 percent of men admitted to hiding under a blanket to hide their tears, while women were more apt to pretend they had something in their eye, reports the Daily Mail.
So instead of watching, say, "Toy Story 3", which passengers cited as one of the most moving films, take a flight on Qantas, which is now showing a documentary on the female orgasm. It's a...different kind of emotion.

Well, tear jerkers are designed to make us cry whether there's a warning or not--so not sure a warning will help there. I've flown my share of air miles and can't really ever remember feeling more emotional about flying--that is other than a number of times when I was leaving my homeland, friends, family and everything I knew. I'd like to hear more about real evidence that emotions run high at a higher altitude--perhaps it's not the actual altitude but situations leading up to a flight that have an effect?
