Second-Rate Airline
Qantas was my airline of choice for the trip from Dubai to Melbourne. If I recall correctly, we were supposed to depart at midnight. However, two passengers did not show up. We had to unload their luggage first. We missed our window for takeoff and the captain told us that we could have to wait as long as two hours before we found another opportunity.
The man in business class behind me took this to heart and began shouting at the flight attendant: “I’m always late every time I fly!” This airline is second-rate! “I didn’t pay five grand for you to be late”. The attendant tried to calm him down by offering champagne or orange juice. But he refused.
He grumbled for about 15 minutes, and then, realizing that no one could help, he reclined the seat so it was flat, and put his comfort mask over his eyelids to sleep.
