This person must have been a QF Captain since they are the only Pilot group able to buy staff travel First class. When a QF Capt pays a little over $1000 for a return flight to LHR in F class, and then de-values the product by behaving in such a manner, well, I'm afraid he/she certainly deserves to get sacked and the Company should now review who is entitled to F class. Even a full fare F class pax would find themselves in trouble, let alone staff travel pax. What a mentality on the part of that Pilot and its further evidence that some QF Pilots think the sun shines out of their ass!
