Bit of a story here.
Last Friday I was scheduled to fly from Sydney to Albury with Qantas. The flight was orginally scheduled to depart at 18:55, but was delayed till 8:30pm, due to some storms. No problem for me, can't do anything about it so I sat back in the T2 QP with Mrs Batesy and chatted to another person who happened to be on the same flight.
When the flight was finally called a man (or idiot, moron, tool) who had clearly had one beer to many abused the QP staffer behind the counter, about the flight being delayed. He swore at her and left. (I did not see this, but my wife did) The staffer clearly did not deserve to treated in such a manner and picked up the phone as we left the lounge.
I did not know what the bloke, or idiot looked like but when we got on the bus to take us to the plane my wife made me move to the back to be away from him, which I couldnt really. I figured out who he was very quickly as he was loud, rude and clearly drunk. Several people asked him to be quiet, including myself, I had some temporary luck with him, but it was short lived. Anyway after being told to shut it by at least 5 people the federal police turned up, asked him to get off the bus, took down my wife's details and also those of the other man from the QP. The QF gate staff informed us that he would not be travelling, but that we would now be delayed as they had to get his bags off the plane.
Finally departed a bit after 21:00 two hours late.
We all had a laugh about it, particularly the passenger who would have been seated next to him and myself as I was seated in front of him.
I was wondering what would happen to the passenger. Would he be locked up for the night, charged with an offence or even not be allowed to fly with QF agaim???
