Re: SYD > MEL DYKWIA fever
This thread is incredibly well timed!
Last week I flew Friday 4pm SYD-MEL, in J. Long weekend, every single seat on the plane taken. I travel with my skydiving rig (in other words, delicate kit that must be on board and other pax/staff must not touch). I spend the time after I take my seat watching it like a hawk. Ready to move it or assist when necessary. I saw 3 people in Y utilise the J bins, despite my reasonably loud protestations they acted like they owned the damn plane. One of them even tried to move my rig so they could shove their items in. I mentioned it to the FA but she did nothing. This is despite a late boarding business class passenger not being able to fit their items in and having them halfway down the plane.
That, combined with Y pax using the toilets (which I do have an issue with, when I fly J I do not want to wait), I wondered why I flew J at all.
J bins, seats, toilets, and service are part of the package. Either provide it, or let your customers know you don't care to give them what they pay for.
