Qantas and RSA in J International what is the Go?

[Ansett]

Recently flew J MEL-SIN on QF35 went to get a glass of wine later in the flight only to be greeted by a completely empty bar, spoke to the CSM who advised that they were not allowed legally to have self serve drinks due to the requirements of RSA compliance.

I pointed out that self serve wine was available in the lounges in Melbourne and Sydney and he argued and disagreed with that.

The recent promotion of the new J lounge on the A380 does show self serve drinks available.

My questions are

1) What is the requirements for to ensure RSA and is the CSM correct or is it cost cutting or laziness on behalf of the crew.

2) What is the experience of other Members have they seen the demise of the self serve bar in J international.

I will say this is NOT a whinge just a query.

Look forward to members thoughts and experiences.

Im trying to work out how it can be attributed to laziness.... I would have though setting up a SELF service bar would be the lazy option?

Have you been in the SYD Dom J lounge on a Friday?
