People like that should be denied boarding for a minimum of a week.
Just because they are in business class and in the Qantas lounge and more than likely drunk does NOT give them the right to abuse staff. |

I would be more than ****ed off if told my flight were delayed for 24 hrs and i payed business fare...especially considering those who do are more than likely to have important business to attend to.

regardless of their class of travel they should not be abusive to ground staff.
if you're a passenger of this flight you might be justified to be angry but by all means the ground staff and indeed everybody would not prefer this to happen. In any case ground staff are the people who have the least control over these sort of delays - they are just as hapless as the passengers when it comes to delays. Just to give you an idea - one has to be mentally prepared to deal with potential abusive passengers and if you don't deal with them carefully they'll explode right in your face : |

Quite a generalisation you've made there...

would be true if we were talking about senator bill heffernan (if you remember what happened late last year :P)
I think the words 'platinum', 'gold' or 'silver' are more likely to be used by business pax to justify their abuse |

Many delays at this time
There seems to be a spate of delays of QF international flight this week. On Sunday Qf11 & QF 1 were delayed by over 24hrs, this delay.
Could there be some mischief by the unions??? |

QF81 on Sat was delayed over 6 hours. The second delay was dodgy. The Engineers told the ground staff 10 mins before boarding there was scheduled maintenance to do, and it took over 3 hours (already had a 3 hour delay, and an aircraft change). Even the ground staff and Captain were slagging off engineers.

Yep - Can almost guarantee they would have had a drink or three.
Struggle to find anyone who isn't knocking back a few in the lounge. I don't have a problem with that, but abuse staff for such a silly reason deserve to be kicked off all Qantas flights for a week I say |
