A domestic on VA Domestic

[opusman]

Reminds me of a flight a couple of years ago in QF F where a mother (60ish) and son (30ish) decided to dine together at mum's seat (in front of mine) and have a full on argument for about an hour. Made for a lovely experience.

What is it about family get togethers that arguments always seem eventuate?

Wow intense flight. Should be flying QF instead

I don't think QF fly the route that PF was on

Correct, the alternative would have been JQ connecting to QF.

I hope she was arrested on landing. Her cheating husband does not give her dibs on a J seat and from what PF stated, she refused to return to her rightful seat following a direction from the crew. Self entitled clowns should not be rewarded for the their whining poodle like antics. March her off the aircraft in handcuffs and it may make her think twice about the same stunt next time. Alternatively, I also like ozbeachbabe's suggestion of off loading mid flight..........both of them.

(Were they both wearing thongs by any chance?)

I have removed a number of posts that were off topic.

Let's keep the politics out of this thread and just discuss the topic at hand.

No :shock:
He was more casually dressed than her wearing jeans and a polo. She was in a dress, sort of smart office, way fancier than what I was wearing (black skinny jeans).
I was really taken aback by her behaviour. I don't know what went on when the incident started in the Y cabin but to actually say to the CSM "I need to sit here" astonished me. I have no doubt if any of this had gone on at the gate, they would have been offloaded.

In my thinking/experience... the two individuals included an Airline staff member...
...Hence placement in Jumpseat,...if it were an ordinary human being they would have placed them in J outright, but a staffer would be positioned in Jumpseat instead of J...

Problematic other half being placed in J to balance tensions.

A good strategic move on the CSM's part...
As Jumpseat (prolly staffer)would've understood his positioning....and accepted the situation....
... and recipient of J would've been subdued and quelled for the duration of the flight.
Though this was somewhat to the detriment of the rest of the J cabin, it was probably the best overall strategic choice by the CSM.

personally I would commend his/her actions.... and accept them as a most suitable remedy to situation that was possibly quite disruptive beyond reason.

Top marks inmho

Over no line have you stepped.
Your opinion is sound.

I actually hadn't thought of that at all. But I suspect you may be correct. My very first thought when I saw the passenger going to the jump seat was that it was someone on staff travel and their seat was unserviceable for some reason. It was only afterwards when the partner came into J upset that I discarded this view.

Like I said... in my experience... I may be a junior poster on this wonderful forum... but that's where junior ends.

People don't get a jumpseat without an ASIC card unless the circumstances are DIRE.

P.S...always enjoy your rhetoric Princess F ;-)

Labelling something as a 'domestic' these days is simply wrong on so many levels.

I thought it was quite a clever pun

I must confess I thought it was a very clever play on words. Gave me a smile anyway.

I think people sometimes use the terminology 'jump seat' (which is in the coughpit) when they mean crew seat ie a seat that is located in the main cabin where F/A's sit and is folded down for take-off and landing and generally found next to the forward door of the a/c or at emergency exit doors in larger aircraft eg A330's A380's & 744's.

My understanding is the male went to the forward galley and sat in the crew seat and did not enter the coughpit at any time.

OzBeachBabe.... What you say is correct, maybe I read the thread a little Literally.

Circumstance would suggest your point is indeed most likely.

Even though, I would still suggest the staff member scenario to be likely,
...as a standard pax would always be separated under the circumstance...errr... comfortably...before UN comfortably in a staff galley seat.

But nice point on perception of jumpseat....
I'd always take the option if offered... but post 9/11.... no asic no cabin access, no matter what.

Yes OBB you are correct. I meant a foldable seat at the door that's used by crew rather than a seat in the coughpit.

Not even that often. Even a CASA FOI cannot sit in the jump seat without a good business reason.
