"That's not how we did it at Ansett"
I don't know who you are, or when you were with Ansett IF at all, but that is what happened back in the 1980s.
Incidentally several people talking about EBAs, I am not positive but fairly sure this disgusting incident was before there were EBAs.
Also I am NOT having a go at Flight Attendants in general, or "Hosties" as they were known for most of my working life, I have worked with many really great Flight Attendants all over Australia, and also in many other parts of the World for more than 40 years.
It was just these 9 that sad day.
