Is there a way to upvote that story!!!!! YES!!!!

Reminds me of Virgin Blue when they first started - most of the Shazza and Dazza's seemed to jump ship to Jetstar when that started up. Perhaps they're all at Tiger now?

Yep, for sure, you hear them on the radio every time Tiger cancels a flight swearing they'll never fly them again (unless they're the cheapest, of course).

:) So True!

Flying no longer seems to be a privilege these days...

There are countless people I know who take full advantage of the low fares offered by JQ and TT just to go up to the Gold Coast or wherever, just to get drunk and what-have-you-not, and then whinge on facebook that they got told they couldn't fly and would have to take the next available flight.

Gone are the days when men wear suits and ties to board planes, and ladies wear their best evening dress. It's almost like getting on a bus thesedays. I for one have been on flights more times than on buses.
