Immature Cabin Crew

This happened a lot in the US, but to some extent has died down.
Surprised to see it in Australia.

The staff involved should be sacked. They don't have the required
maturity to fly as responsible members of cabin crew.

Petzl will be pleased, of course.

Any confirmation that the report is actually accurate?

AFR isn't exactly gospel.....

To All who believe the cabin crew was wrong,

What would your reaction have been if the headlines we

250 Dead in QANTAS Hijacking

"Cockpit Voice Recorder Reveals that Flight Attendant suspected terrorist
activity before takeoff but crew kept mouth's shut because of fears of
loosing jobs"

If Dixon really did say he wanted them sacked, which I strongly suggest he
would have, then he is an even bigger loser than I thought he was.

Not all Arabs are terrorists, but all terrorists are arabs.

I shall never fly QANTAS again as long as Dixon is at the helm, what a
dickhead, he rates up there with Peter Reith and look what happened to him !

I rest my case.

Would you say that Tim McVeigh was a terrorist? Would you say he was an
Arab? All of the 9/11 terrorists were male. Should males be thrown off
of Qantas?

Based on the reports, the only "threat" seemed to be the people on the
plane were Arab and spoke a different language. Maybe if we could get a
report of why the cabin crew thought they were terrorists, that would be
helpful, but I haven't see one.

You ought to pop over to Belfast for the weekend.

Yep, the famous Arab terrorist (is that redundant) Tim McVeigh.

Were it not true, Qantas would (quite rightly) have made a lot of
noise to the offending press.

I wonder if the cabin crew also thought the Australian AF officer was a
terrorist too

However, those non-Arabs terrorists seem to attack those having some involvement in their local
issue. The modern Arab variety seems to be convinced everybody everywhere who is non-Muslim
is their sworn enemy - possibly even including moderate Muslims who they define as "not good Muslims."

Am I anti Muslim? Not in your life. Anti Arab - got good friends from the middle east. BUT on the
international front there is a trend when you review the *indiscriminate* killing going on.

In the USA they are so scared to be seen as profiling those who are most likely to be problems, they search
grandmothers, children, US military, and pilots, in fact anyone travelling on a one-way ticket is scrutinised.
Watching the farce makes you feel real secure :-D

What connection did Tim McVeigh have to Oklahoma City or anyone in it?

I think, as far as Arabs are concerned, the US can be characterized as
"those having some involvement in their local issue", the "local issue"
being the terrible mess the Middle East is in today. Not that it
justifies terrorism, but "justifies" it as much as the Irish, for
example, are "justified" in carrying out their acts of terrorism.

No comment allowed from the cabin crew?

In Australia its *not* abnormal for people of "middle Eastern
Appearance" to board Qantas flights and have *never* seen animosity
shown by cabin crew to them.

Very curious as to why a relatively normal event had a plane grounded
because of *entire* cabin crew of four reporting terrorist concerns

So far we are only hearing Qantas's played down version of events
