Hunting in packs now, two on one, this smells of terrorism.
I think as highly paid and trained tech crew we should have an armed escourt when we are positioned away from main base.
This was between 3 able bodied guys

Seems ta me theres a lotta suppositories...errrm, suppositions, an hypotheses without much real fact ta date..errrm, so far.
Why did the captain get involved?
Did e feel 'is own sexuality was bein' threatened?
Or was e tryin' ta protect an innocent young BA stewie?
Unless the 2 heshes in question were tryin' to molest the skipper, what business was it of 'is anyways?
Enuff a the fag bashin' - howsabout some FACTS!
Be seein' youse round.

Thurs "Daily Telegraph"
Qantas pilot in Tokyo melee
By JOE HILDEBRAND Work and Family Reporter
March 31, 2005
A QANTAS pilot is alleged to have physically assaulted two flight attendants after a night of partying in a Tokyo nightclub.
The incident took place on Good Friday just hours before Qantas Flight 180 was due to depart for Melbourne, forcing the flight to be cancelled and hundreds of passengers to be placed on other flights.
It is believed the pilot allegedly attacked one male attendant on the bus trip back from the Tokyo nightclub.
He is then claimed to have assaulted a second attendant, also male, back at the hotel where the crew were staying.
The crew were off duty at the time but due to start work on the Melbourne flight
Sources told The Daily Telegraph that the victims were mystified as to the cause of the attack.
"They were at a loss," a source said. "They didn't understand. It seems to be unprovoked."
The pilot has been stood down – on full pay – while Qantas investigates the matter.
A Qantas spokesman confirmed there had been an "incident involving an off-duty pilot and cabin crew".
"It's been alleged there was an altercation involving the off-duty crew while in Tokyo," he said.
"The pilot's been stood down pending an internal investigation."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Just hours" It has been reported as approx 15 hours. The media never fails to distort the facts!

Jesus H Christ people!
All we hear are conflicting stories and the F/A's getting in on the "us vs them" act when it comes to Tech Crew and everyone paying out on gay Cabin Crew with the standard camp vitriol we've all heard before since childhood.
Does anyone actually know what the REAL STORY was ?
Some facts rather than conjecture wouldnt go astray.

Beer Can don't be silly! This story is far too much fun without the facts. Don't spoil it now. The stories on here might lead to more fights between pilots and cabin crew and we'll have entertainment and rumour fodder for ages. I always knew there was a reason the crew were checked for weapons. There'd be shades of US postal workers otherwise.
Oh for pics...they'd be around the world on the net in seconds.

After Quaintarse figure out who slapped who they might like to address the question of just how these pissed-up pugilists were going to be sober enough to be permitted to drive the aircraft and/or mince around the cabin servicing the SLF.Perhaps it's time for pre-flight breath testing to be introduced.

Yeah, definitely random breath testing before each flight.
Sometimes my namesakes just disappoint me,they used to be
so nice, and hidden in closets.
