Qantas removes bottled drinking water for business/premium economy

[Austman]

Instead of being poured from a plastic bottle, we’ll now be using a silver jug filled with potable water.

And it's already done this way (water from a jug during meal service) in Y class.

If there are health issues, it doesn't seem to have been affecting Y class passengers ...

Some of us prefer bottled water even in Australia.

e.g. I don't drink tap water in my apartment in Brisbane. The taste is horrible and ocassionally brown coloured water comes out. No thanks. Bottled water only.

Brisbane tap water is just as safe for you as bottled water, probably better for you as well. Or are you worried that the halides will sap your vital fluids? If you are concerned put in a filter.

As long as wine remains in a bottle and not a cask we're going to be fine

I am very happy with filtered water. Bottled water really is unnecessary.

Bottled water is just filtered water anyway...

As long as it's real silver I'm ok with this

Indeed:

Silver’s association with anti-bacterial properties has long been established. The ancient Phoenicians knew enough to keep water, wine and vinegar in silver vessels to ensure freshness.

Only in LOTFAP :shock: - although more SFO than LAX, I would have thought .

That does it! I demand that QF provides non-GMO water, filtered through a non-GMO HEPA filter and served from a non-GMO silver jug by a non-GMO FA .

Cost cutting yes

Fluoride is evil and I avoid it as much as possible

Can never trust a halide, might zap your Vital Juices.

Umm, ok.

Umm, ok.

It's good for your teeth, though...

Internal documents are meant to be just that, internal. However that’s another conversation…

Someone should tell that to the long term QF "supporter" Ben Sandilands as the OP appears to have been lifted directly from Crikey

Only Row 2, Column 17 - what about Row 3, Column 17? .

Good to mix with acetone. But come down and one more. Can't live without it! Great Richard Fidler interview today. How Creswell Eastman saved a million brains - ABC Conversations with Richard Fidler

No, just that fluoride is somehow evil.

How dare you bring science and logic into this!
