The whole point is being missed here, whether you agree of the demand of the passenger wanting to be seated with his family or not, when you board the aircraft you agree that you will follow crew member instructions if you agree or not none of these instructions are unreasonable.
This guy flat out denied and if you watch the video in full he comes across as intimidating to the CM by raising his voice. The CM escalated to the PIC where then the AFP got involved where they also gave this guy a lawful direction where he denied after multiple warnings AFP officers they also escalated as this guy denied to follow their lawful directions.
All this guy had to do was follow the direction of the CM and none of this would of occurred and he would be in ML with his family that it was so important for him to sit with, now he is on the other side of the country wasting money on hotels. I hope he gets the full extent of the law thrown at him and never to fly a QF group AC again. We can’t have this behavior occurring on board AC.
