Short Circuit,
My post was in no way intended as a slight against any of the crews. If this is QF managements example of how they deal with a difficult situation, god help us should the sh1t really hit the fan one day.
I've not had experience on the ramp at Perth but surely it would have been possble to offload the pax by mobile stair unit and usher them outside. Rather than leave them for hours on board getting more and more p1ssed off.
And just where does the "screening" come into it? They were arriving pax not bl00dy departing. Spokeswoman clearly only trained to talk to idiots.
OK, I just read the article again and it is not very clear about whether aircraft was arriving or departing. If it was departing then I guess it gets more difficult.
