This thick pax should have known better, as he was staff, (like myself). Was trying to get back to SYD from MEL after the F1 race quite a few years back. Very full. A very impatient staff pax behind me in the queue at the gate counter.
I inquired about the jump seat availability and was told that there were quite a few people that had already inquired. I told her thanks, I mite just stay another day and began walking away. Impatient Staff Pax (ISP) immediately says to the girl at the gate counter (GGC)
ISP "I would also like to inquire about the jump seat"?
GGC "As I just informed the previous gentleman, there are quite a lot of staff who have already requested the jump seat...."
ISP "well how many of these jump seats are there anyway"?
