Air NZ crew heads home alone after LA suicide

Thirteen Air New Zealand cabin crew members were flown home from the
United States without their passengers after witnessing a suicide on
their way to work.

Passengers booked on flight NZ3 from Los Angeles to Auckland on Sunday
were put on other Air New Zealand flights after the incident, said Ed
Sims, general manager international airline.

The crew was in a minibus on the way to LAX when a person jumped off
an overbridge and landed on their vehicle.

The person then fell on the highway into the path of traffic.

Mr Sims said the crew went to assist but the person was dead and they
were "faced with a horrific scene".

Gee. What a precious lot. I guess they will need counseling on some
sunny beach for a month before they return to work.

Talk about a pampered group of workers.


Pampered ?? Really?

So you would return to work and just dismiss it as an unhappy event?
Wow - now that's impressive.

If you want to really consider workers having a lend of the system then
consider the many thousands of working days are lost each year by people
taking sickies due entirely to their overindulgence of alcohol - and having
someone else pay them for their day off.
