QfRegional you make a good point. Even though the company pays for the bus, they don’t own it, not in international slip ports anyway. Qantas may use their own buses domestically to transport crew, if this is the case you are correct. However if the bus driver of the transport company says no drinking on the bus, then there’s no drinking on the bus period! This often happens in LAX. Another point is that international crew are permitted to purchase alcohol off the duty free seller on board, obviously this does not occur on domestic sectors. Smoking is obviously not permitted at anytime on any crew bus.
