An academic who criticized the airline Qantas for one of its flight attendants calling her Miss instead of Doctor has ignited a heated online debate about whether the airline should be blamed.

Dr. Siobhan O’Dwyer, an Australian psychology researcher based in Exeter, UK, tweeted on Friday, Aug. 31, about the way she was addressed when boarding a flight.
