How long was this longest Y flight?

I am guessing a flight from PER to East Coast. Possibly BNE.

I don't know the full context, but how hard could it have been for both sides to check each others' stories out on the spot without being belligerent?

It seems "all that is well ends well" as he's back on the job after some "counselling", although I hear the guard might be seeking some legal advice, or workers compensation.

Kids are those who can clearly not handle alcohol. ... Responsible adults of any age drink and don't make issues for anyone.

Aaah... so this is a label thing, not an age one. So a "kid" can be 18, or 48, or 88. An adult can be 66 as well as 16.

If I leave the casino at 4:00am I haven't even had one single drink but what would people commenting know?

Not much, but they are likely to hastily judge as you are.

A Russian doctor has been captured on video punching a patient, knocking him to the floor and killing him instantly.

For a second I thought it was here in Australia but no this was in Russia. Can't trust being in a hospital will keep you safe.

Might have been easier than giving the patient the bill? I don't know, help me out here.

BNE-PER then on to KGI.

In Y? Hah... child's play. :mrgreen:

Story tends to suggest two things - short fuses of the very rich and quality of security personal employed in many places these days.

I suspect the conversation was brief:

"DYKWIA?"

One has to ask: why whY - and surely not all the way :shock:.

 

[drron]

Because they wouldn't pay for J and all out of QFF points.

OMG - the ignominy . It must have been worth going to KGI for other reasons...

What about the return journey :shock:.

Don't fancy a brief stopover in PER for a recharge?

Well, the security guard was radioed that there was a "most important VIP" approaching him. Wondering what story Packer was supposed to 'check out on the spot' as he attempted to walk (with another Crown exec) through the entry to 'his' casino.

Recalling that Packer once got into a fist fight with a friend on a public street, this was never going to end well!!

Only the J lounge at PER.Arrive 1005 and leave 1205.
Must say though the J lounge staff at PER are excellent.Even getting your wine refilled without leaving your seat.

Newspaper reports referred to the guard as 'Dr'.

Sad news, was just listening to his latest album earlier today.

Amazing that even as he battled cancer he was still creating.

Apparently a PhD
