With JQ doing longer flights now within Oz to Perth & Darwin and crew operating both forward and return legs there's only a limited time to 'play with' if you need to offload someone & find their bags if they're too intoxicated to travel.
It's not uncommon for the last few pax to be boarding and have JQ ops informing staff they've got 10 mins to go or the crew are out of hours. What happens when the crew refuse to uplift someone due to the above reasons?
It's only a matter of time before the scenario happens, so taking the above into account are the cabin crew encouraged to have a bit of a rethink or does one pax ruin it for everybody by having 170 people diverted somewhere else (less crew hours) with the extra expense of overnighting pax in hotels then still having to get them to their original destination?
