    Not The Smartest Day in Aviation

    A couple of strange incidents today, seems like the stupidity has been kept to OneWorld. Any SQTalkers responsible?

    First off:

      The Cathay one seems like a case of bad luck?

      The BA one. Well. Like the tweet by LCY, "words fail."

        There are some out there whose spinal cord is not connected to a brain.

          Sounds like he would've still missed his flight

            One of the strangest incidents I read about decades years ago was that of somebody deciding to cook his own food on board because he disliked the inflight meal.

            Started a fire on board.

            Early today, however, I got a unusual but pleasant surprise. My teenaged daughter was displaced to a Jetstar flight after QF cancelled PER-SIN flights but went to PER airport without her wallet and had a phone with a flat battery and then informed that the flight was delayed at least 5 hrs!

            Penniless and alone, she walked to the QF J Lounge and asked if they may be nice enough to charge her phone. They were and also invited her to spend her 5hr wait there. So nice.
