Flight #2

These pictures do not do the flight justice...

Well that was an eventful flight. First there was the passenger who refused to pay for his AirAsia pizza. Eventually he coughed up the $11 USD – after it looking like the only option would be for security to escort him to an ATM while we all waited on the plane for him to make payment. It took three air stewards and an hour and a half to work out the issue was around the price difference from KL to Melbourne and visa versa. Yes sir it is cheaper coming from KL because it is cheaper to prepare the food there. We have just come from Melbourne where the cost of living is higher. No sir we can not prepare the food in KL and store it onboard for the return flight. Please sir, you have eaten the pizza, now can we have our money? Sir?

While this was all happening a lady came from down the back and loudly announced the other air steward was a bitch. Just like that. That woman is a bitch, she thinks she is the queen, but she is not the queen – she is a bitch. Apparently she was a bitch because the lady wanted free water.

Just when I thought things had settled down, unhappy lady tried to cause an uprising. It is a basic human right that we have water. And we are trapped, trapped without water and they are impeaching on our human rights. She walked up and down the aisle telling us all not to let the corporations fuck with us. We were the customers, we had rights, and we had the right to complain. And we also have the right to WATER!

And in the end, we had to stay out on the tarmac while the man who wouldn't pay for his pizza was escorted off the airport by 'security'. Security being a man wearing a fluorescent safety vest.
