Some info from the same thread FlyerTalk

[TD="class: td2"]I talked with one of the FAs in 1st on my LAX-MEL flight, which arrived home this morning. The FA confirmed the issue was PJs, and that the pax is a frequent flyer in F on QF and apparently is always difficult to please (complains a lot, just about every flight). The FA has dealt with the pax in the past.
Sounds like a very unhappy person to be constantly dissatisfied with F.[/TD]
These are comments from someone who was not involved in the actual incident. I know personally one of the QF staff members who was involved, and they indicated that the pax was not rude or obnoxious, spoke to them calmly and politely, and was fine to deal with.
How does anyone here know what the pax was wearing? Perhaps they had just been somewhere in a suit, and intended to wear pajamas for the flight and change back into the suit on arrival. They may not have had anything else comfortable to wear in their carry on. Even jeans to me are totally uncomfortable to wear to sleep in (unless one has had significant amounts to drink and is passing out rather than falling asleep!) Anyway, without further information I don't think anyone can comment much more on the reason for deboarding - only the pax could really clarify things further, everything else is just speculation.
As far as not taking J pajamas, maybe that was unreasonable. However, having worn both F and J pajamas on flights in the last 2 weeks, the F ones are definitely bigger and more comfortable, and a nicer fabric (whether or not you like the colour). The J L/XL ones whilst long enough, and for me wide enough (I'm not skinny but not massive either), for some would not be, but the F ones may still be ok as they are bigger. Put it this way, I wouldn't want the J ones to be any smaller, and I'm no way near the size of the pax in question (purely judging by the photo), but I think I could easily drop down a size in the F ones.
Personally, I'm going to take a pair of shorts and light t-shirt to sleep in from now on anyway. The sheepskin mattress in F is far too hot - especially with the quilt/doona (depending on which side of the street you grew up). Even in J two days ago sitting in the upper deck exit row coming back from Dallas I was roasting in the J pj's with just the thin blanket, and ended up kicking the blanket off.
