Original Topic
Haven't we digressed just a tad from the original topic?Just to remind one and all ...it was about a pugilistic altercation between A QF 767 Captain and two CC.One crew member required hospitalization and the Captain was stood down and paxed home.
A number of questions remain unanswered...
1.What was the altercation about?
2.Who was involved?
3.What will be the fate of those involved?
4.Why was the Captain stood down in NRT instead of operating home.
5.The effect this will have on QFs reputation in Japan.
6.Were the Japanese authorities involved?
This thread has been closed once.The way the drivel has built up again its heading for another closure without any accurate information being provided

The latest is I've now put most of the thread back here - after removing references to individuals and the unacceptable posts.
Last time I rweceived nine "Report this Post" emails in 30 minutes and most were justified complaints. I too have more to do than spend hours editing threads.
Have your fun but keep it clean and keep individual names - no matter how oblique - out of it!
And I'll contemplate Lube Boy's fate over a cold ale tonight. In the interim, he won't be here.

Am I correct in believing I've seen people post here regarding that this was not on Duty time, therefore the airline should not be involved?
Couple of questions, observations and comments if I may;
1. Whilst not 'on-duty' who is paying for the staff members staying in the hotels and meal allowances?
Would that be the Airline?
If this is the case, then you are a representative of that company regardless, and must behave according to a code of conduct I'd suggest.
This 'what happens on tour, stays on tour' crap is appropriate for a footy trip at best, but it just DOES NOT wash in a corporate, professional world where fisticuffs are not tolerated.
Actually, to apply that cracked logic is ignorant. When do you draw a line in the sand then? And who determines when it's drawn?
As this thread has highlighted beautifully, everyone reacts differently in any given circumstances, and what I might find acceptable, funny or serious, you might not.
And this is why a basic behavioural code of conduct is required.
I don't have the relevant handbooks/paperwork, but I'm sure there would have to be something in QF's 'rules' which state that whilst you are effectively representing the company you must abide my a code, and most especially when you are in another country.
Something just ocurred to me;
An interview question that has been asked of an aspiring FA was what would you do in the instance where you were on an o'night in a foreign country, and on a shopping expedition during some free time in that country you see one of your collegues shoplifting?
1. Talk to your senior?
2. Report the offence and offender on return to home base if the senior has not responded effectively in your opinion?
3. Approach the offender and let them know you will be reporting them and see what they do?
Whichever option is chosen, bottom line is that it comes back to a company responsibility.
Maybe they do this for a reason? Could it be to protect their workers whilst outside Australia?
YOU BET!!!
And you can almost bet your last dollar that if the person who was hurt in the incident in Japan chooses to take legal action that QF will be on the hit list for not providing him/her with a safe working and employment environment.
All for now

I'd say things went pear shaped for her a loooooooong time ago from the sounds of it!!

How did she plan to escape through the over-wing exit if things went pear-shaped?

Perhaps all of these "chaps" should be given an "Anger Management Thong". When you begin to loose your temper, the thong tightens......I guess it'd only work if you didn't enjoy that kinda thing!

Jetlagger,
My source of info is very realiable - obviously just like yours.
Hence the reason why the F/O and Capt were paxed home seperately.
So there you go fella's. It was just the f/a's trying to stop the F/O being picked on. Not a bad effort on the 'gay' f/a's behalf I reckon.
Maybe the thread of this topic should be changed to reflect the true story rather than the dribble in some posts about male f/a's getting it on in the back of a bus or whatever.....pfffft

QF Skywalker & Jetlagger,
My source doesn't agree and they were at the truck that night.
My info is that the skipper punched a F/A twice, prior to getting on the bus back to the hotel, resulting in the F/A losing a tooth. All and sundry then tried to break them up with the skipper still very fired up. Then a non-QF person tried to get involved and continue it, but was politely told not to. The skipper walked home and the F/A and his mate got the bus. The F/A was quite upset and talking of revenge on the bus and when they got off at the hotel the non-QF person (who also caught the bus) then clashed with the F/A's mate, resulting in the mate in hospital and blood and hair left all through the lobby.

I suggest you read the posts by QF Skywalker and jettlager before ridiculing my post!
Your profile suggests that you are a Long Haul FA so I suppose you are an unreliable source of information aswel!
Wake up to yourself mate and GROW UP! No need to be a jerk either

Throw out the line and you get a bite...from?(Drum Roll)...RollzRoyce.Gee,I wasn't even using live bait.
C'mon just because there are now 3 stooges instead of one doesn't make your speculation any more factual.

Neither does it justify you being such a jerk! This forum is a RUMOUR network (as the name suggests) so be prepared to hear anything!
If you cant handle rumours than you shouldn't be here! Simple as that.
No need to start being a smart Ar#e just because what we hear contradicts what’s being posted here.
I never claimed my information was factual. Just passing on what I had heard. If it hurt you....go have a sulk about it. Or maybe you should go and invest in a dictionary and read through it. You will be amazed to find out that the definition of rumour is:
gossip (usually a mixture of truth and untruth) passed around by word of mouth

The ingredients....One Captain(The Big G)One FO One BA Hostie,The Truck,Two CC,add one Captains wife and Child(asleep in the hotel)stir in copious quantities of alcohol and what do you get ?.Two CC and one FO who get cleaned up by Skipper outside and inside the hotel.One CC requires hospital treatment.The CC were intervening on behalf of the FO.The Skippers wife is Thai,which appears to be part of the catalyst along with booze and the lateness of the night(morning)How many careers will be ruined?
It has caused the groundstaff at NRT not only a great deal of work apologizing and rerouting pax,but also an enormous loss of face and respect at the airport.
Nobody wins,everybody loses.
Next day: remorse,reality, plus a hangover.Not a good result
