Wil Anderson Arrested after QFLink Incident

Technically you are not right. Just because he has a medically condition doesn't automatically preclude him from sitting in a exit row seat.

True enough, but I think he fails a couple of them anyway, in particular this one "be willing and able to move quickly and assist crew in an emergency situation", but "willing and able to listen" might be a problem too.

Do you mean Adam Hills? Wil has osteoarthritis - perhaps that makes him ineligible?

You are correct - seems people get them mixed up all the time.

By my reckoning he fails 5,6,10
Who should adjudicate midair?. Cabin crew?

What a massive tool!! Wonder if his mate on the QF board will insist on banning him for life for (publicly) verbally assulting staff?

 

[yohy?!]

He stated at the show after that he told the FA he was able and willing to open the door (despite his back issue).

Too little, too late.

If that able he wouldn't have required to move around like he did to relieve his back.

Totally agree. I suspect throwing a 20kg door outside the aircraft in an emergency might be deemed by the crew to be impossible for him given his OA and back issues.

It's funny how the initial PR response from his team was to state that the exit row seat was needed for comfort given his condition. A bit of a fail there really.....

 

[TheBOSman]

He wanted an exit row due to a medical condition. Different rules for celebrities?

Why can't they just admit that they were stressed and behaved like a wanker?

juddles has already provided the answer as to the medical condition involved .

Not sure what happened here but news reports of his arrest at Wagga after an incident onboard a Dash 8z Wil Anderson

More info to come I suspect

My understanding is one should not call Wagga Wagaa, Wagga.

QF will not ban him and will not take it further, neither will the police. ABC News.

There was not cost to the airline - no diversions. So can understand the airline's response.

Luckily, it was a 'misunderstanding', as he's a very well know comedian with a varied media platform, providing him with fodder for sarcasm may not be good PR.

A measured response. He deleted his twit so seems to have some insight.

 

[jb747]

No need to get carried away....

What a jerk to go straight to Twitter like that. So childish. Then obviously realised he sounded like a moron so deleted it...

Until I read this thread, I had never heard of him, so not sure whether that is good or bad?

Better to stay silent and thought to be a twit than to twitter and remove all doubt
