But of course, as with all things Jetstar, all is not as it seems-

http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-...012-16gwh.html

"The counter staff member was not a direct employee of Jetstar but of Skycare, a contracted firm.

Skycare had stood the man down and was conducting its own investigation, which Jetstar was supporting, the statement said.

Default Typical Jetstar

Ohwell, It's Jetstar what do you expect? It's not only the first time it has happend with Jetstar. When i was on JQ492 NTL-OOL the other day, i had chewy all over my arm rest, my seat was broken, air-conditionding was broken it was like 50 degrees, technical problems with the safety instructions voice, delays what more could you ask for. I even told the head cabin crew and this is what she said: "Live with it". Great customer service. NOT! Flight back with virgin blue was completely different, Free Live'2'air Clean Aircaft, wider seats, attractive Nice and friendly, 30 minutes early arrival, much better airline than that ****, death, crap oh i mean jetstar.

So dont be suprised if this happens again.

Jack.

Never had a problem with Jetstar. Always friendly if you follow the well known rules.

Hey Jack,

It was Jetstar's oldest aircraft. And the flight attendant cannot do anything about the broken seat and aircon, or even the chewing gum, during the flight. Did the chief purser just say 'live with it?' Or did she say, 'live with it, I am sorry?'
You have to remember that flight attendants are put under alot of stress these days...at least this one didn't have a major emotional breakdown.
Jetstar is probably among the best low-cost airlines in the world. It recorded rising profits this year, as well as Virgin Blue and Qantas.

Nice to see you've joined the Sydney Airport Forum

Jack, I wonder if the attitude displayed in your request for assistance was anything like the poor attitude displayed in first post on this forum?

I can't believe your post has not been deleted. You start of by saying that "This is not the first time to happen on Jetstar" and then tell us some 'story' about a negative experience you had! Did the flight attendant hit you?! You do not need to exaggerate (50 degrees in the cabin?). Every airline has issues with pre recorded announcements. I suppose you would like to see Qantas shut down after I tell you the safety demonstration did not play in two zones of a 747 recently and the situation had to be rectified?

And for the record, Jetstar's seats are the widest economy seats in the domestic market. And the softest too. Virgin's are over an inch narrower. But that is just mere fact.
