Virgin Australia Flight hijacked
Coming through now. Reports BNE-DPS flight hijacked and forced to land in Bali.
Hope all ok with pax and crew, if true

Drunk passenger tried to enter cockpit
1. Does Virgin Australia have a 'responsible service of alcohol' policy?
2. Do Virgin Australia cabin crew regularly patrol the cabin to check that the punters are behaving and not consuming any duty free purchases?
If the flight originated from Brisvegas, the drunk punter must have gotten himself into that condition while en route to Bali. I hear on the ABC conflicting reports: one about a drunk, the other about a sick pax. How will Virgin spin out of this incident that has closed an international airport?
Is this a matter if reap what you sow?
At the risk of being 'flamed'. I ask

2. No they don't. They get pi$$ed with the punters. Its a complete free for all.
3. Your a complete pillock and only marginally more creditable than GT. Do you work at "Australia's only Boeing 777 simulator" as well?
Consider yourself flamed....
I do like however the way the VA "official" said "there was no threat to the passengers safety". (source Nine MSN).
The fact that a drunken imbecile may have attempted to wreak havoc in the flight deck meant of course there would have been a threat to everyone's safety! just say it as it is.
Bloody PR, Spin Doctor oxygen thief.

Admirable attempts to hose down the situation girls, but there are a couple of issues outstanding;
- FR24's display had the flight squawking 7500 - was this artistic licence or fact?
- who overreacted, the Indons (5 trucks worth of excitable gun toting types and closing the airport) or the crew?
- note to VA PR, a drunk pax stirring shyte on a flight isn't a medical emergency (as stated in their first statements to the media) and saying so only makes it look as though you're hiding something.
The only upside of this debacle is that young fella me lad is going to have plenty of time to reflect on his idiocy in a less than salubrious environment.

So when's this going to become all about Qantas?
Oh wait a minute. Did I just make it about QANTAS?
