i found it interesting that the captain was interviewed on ABC News commenting on the incident. I haven't seen this before and wondered if this was QF policy.
I wouldn't call it a formal interview. It looked more like the Captain trying to make his way to the crew bus getting mobbed by the media. His tone suggested more of a 'you can't be serious. Get a grip on reality people' and he expressed the insignificance of the whole situation.
He basically just said what we have all been thinking about the media beat ups lately.
