Oh, Those Fun-Loving Flight Attendants
A FORMER QANTAS FLIGHT ATTENDANT was fined $1,500 Friday for causing a false alarm in a fancy upscale hotel in Queensland, New Zealand.
On July 31, after a night on the town, the female crew member set off a fire alarm at the hotel they were staying at, the Crowne Plaza, resulting in around 200 guests being evacuated and two fire engines being called to the scene.
She was fired the next morning along with a male colleague who had refused the pilot’s demand for a breath test before reporting for duty. The plane was stranded at the resort city’s airport while a relief crew was flown in from Christchurch.
The New Zealand Herald has the STORY.
