I also have to wonder if some form of investigation will be held as to WHY an obviously drunk pax was allowed on board to start with.
He had to get past check in, what is supposed to be security,wander around the airport and the Cairns terminal isn't very big and has staff in a good place to observe everybody, then through the boarding gates then onto the aircraft past the flight attendant at the door.
Maybe more than the drunken idiot needs a kick up the a#$% over this.
Quite frankly what do they expect from a pissed moron who they LET on board.
He may not have appeared drunk, BUT, after 8 pints I bet he did. Can't remember how many times I have had the flight attendant report a pax not in a suitable state to fly only after he has made it all the way to the aircraft door.
