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

ABC picked up the story . . . . .

VOZ65 maybe, SYD - DPS has turned now tracking towards DN

Seems to be a drunk pax has tried to enter the cockpit. VA are now saying not a hijacking situation.

Drunk passenger tried to enter cockpit

Oh well a couple of years in kerobakan will sort out any issues the pax might have.

Might add more as a side effect

1. No they don't. They serve the pax as much alcohol as they can handle and have competitions on who they can get the most drunk. They take bets too. If you win, you get your face painted by one of the cabin crew. Thats why there's so many drunk unruly passengers that make the news all the time on Virgin.

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....

Gate 15L :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

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.:ugh:

Isn't that the destination the aircraft was going anyway?
Awesome reporting :ok:

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.

This might help you guess!

The first of a worrying new breed of hijacker, taking over the aircraft without gaining access to the flight deck and demanding to be flown to their intended destination in an on-time manner.

-JLS-,troubling indeed.
:E

Perhaps the pax was angry that there was no face painting onboard, no wacky dance routines and no humorous banter during the safety demo?

So when's this going to become all about Qantas?

Bogan.

The benefit is a net increase in the IQ of both Australia and Indonesia with his tranfer to the Indon Judicial system :D

The guy is a plumber from NSW. He might get to spend some time checking out the plumbing at Hotel K.

It can't be about QANTAS. We don't fly anywhere anymore :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

Oh wait a minute. Did I just make it about QANTAS? :}
