Perhaps I was a little overly harsh on the offenders. Two articles are cited in that thread and I recall reading both - the one from the Age
and the original article in that thread that has no reference.

This is what the Age had to say:

But Etihad Airways spokesman Iain Burns said there was no excuse for the boorish behaviour.

"Anyone who goes to a restaurant and complains about the food or doesn't like the chair they've got doesn't allow them to behave in such an intolerable manner that they strip half naked and offer money for sex.
.

Snaith and Evans were convicted yesterday of the sexual harassment and assault of one airline hostess onboard the flight to Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi's Criminal Court found Evans guilty of sexual assault and he was sentenced to a twelve-month custodial sentence, suspended for three years, according to UAE news agency WAM.

He had also been charged with public exposure and indecency after allegedly removing his clothing and repeatedly exposing himself during the flight.

He had also been charged with unlawful consumption of cocaine and hashish after traces of both were returned in a positive drugs test.

He was also charged with the use of offensive language in a public place.

The court heard testimony from one of the female cabin crew, an alleged victim of the mid-air ordeal. Evidence was provided of a catalogue of offensive, sexually-orientated acts and offers committed under the influence of alcohol.

I don't recall any stories of torture either, though dealing with the airline itself seems torturous at times.

The biggest gripe with

< snip >

Etihad are just as joke of an airline to me, one incident I put down to a bad day, but when it happens repeatedly and at all levels of the company, you realise it's culture not bad luck thats behind it.

Now that was a more relevant comment - not a ringing endorsement by any means!

Ye Gods! After asking about seating on EY, I now find myself thinking swimming, or flying UM, GA,HY, maybe even SD back to BNE. Surely EY is not that bad????? Um, do they serve up booze in large quantities, or has that bad gentleman who, errr exposed his chest, put a stop to that ?

Cheers Dee
