Air France crew detained in Argentina for refusing upgrade

[Mattg]

An Air France crew was allegedly detained and questioned for six hours after arrival in Buenos Aires last month, after they refused to give a free upgrade to the daughter of a former Argentinian justice minister.

Apparently the crew refused the free upgrade because business class was full. (And fair enough, too!)

If this woman was so important, why didn't she just book a business class ticket?!

..... refused to give a free upgrade to the daughter of a former Argentinian justice minister...

Someone thinks daddy is ruling like its 1976?

Someone thinks daddy is ruling like its 1976?

I very much hope that justice is (ironically) served.
