American Pilot Upsets Australian Airport Staff & Authorities
Just heard an American 777 FO with EK causing grief to Australian airport authorities and EK ground staff in Sydney recently after arriving from BKK. Apparently he was arguing with ground staff and authorities as to why there were no dedicated crew channels in Sydney. Why do most of us behave appropriately when confronting another country's rules and regulations and one idiot has to spoil it for the rest of us and what makes him think that he is above the authorities just because he wears a pilot's uniform. We all may have gripes about our companies and others but to behave like a 3 year old when representing your company in official capacity is just plain stupid. Just for the record, a few days later, another 777 crew had all their baggage checked which took up to 2 hours. There are some people you can upset but others you should not piss off. Thanks mate for your inconsiderate actions!!!
