Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

Retired wallaby half-back George Gregan currently mingling in the MEL domestic J Lounge.

Seemed pretty approachable - said hi to anybody he encountered, and set up camp on a crew seat in the galley and had long chats with the crew.

That's an odd thing to do! I'm all for the CEO engaging with his workforce on the ground, but not while they're busily preparing meals for J pax and no doubt already stressing about being critiqued by their boss.

I was a nurse in a previous life and I recalled the nurse manager (who was really quite nice) doing some shifts on the floor in the busy emergency department. We were all so stressed that I'm sure there's never been so many drug errors and missed cannulas.

Had the infamous Akbar Al Baker on a Qatar Airways 777 flight recently... he was in the front row of business class (not 1A, though), and excused himself to the coughpit for takeoff and landing.

Seemed pretty approachable - said hi to anybody he encountered, and set up camp on a crew seat in the galley and had long chats with the crew....!

If we were flies on the wall one might surmise that the discussion did not cover employment conditions for QR staff (Qatar Airways not Queensland Rail, that is...)

"Infamous" is an accurate description. No fly list for me!

 

[QF WP]

I thought it was the terrorist that you were referencing (as ChrisFlyer spelt it Bakar) and got a bit worried when he went into the coughpit....my fears were allayed when I googled and got the correct person (and I've changed the spelling in the previous posts):
