| 832689 | 2009-11-23 07:38:00 | That's a tad wtf imo. Not like they were a pilot or anything :| Haven't read full article but from what I did read that's my opinion :P | TickTech (15391) | ||
| 832690 | 2009-11-23 07:51:00 | I think fair enough. She was going to work and would of been drunk on the job. And being a flight attendant she should of known better. Passengers safety could of been at risk. Also flying at altitude her condition could of been worsened. :) |

| 832691 | 2009-11-23 08:16:00 | There are several issues brought up in the article and probably all need further exploration. The person was found to be over the legal limit for driving but does this mean he/she was drunk or seriously affected? The person being a flight attendant would mean that he/she may have to give instructions to passengers during an emergency such as an engine failure during takeoff. As a passenger would you place credence on instructions from an obviously drunk member of staff? Is it normal procedure for a member of the Police to contact the employer? There is a privacy act and also the employment act to consider as well. Personally I would like the law tested in Court and taken to the highest Court available and see what our so-called learned Judges have to say. |

| 832693 | 2009-11-23 08:48:00 | Typical of Air NZ . Shoot first and ask later. Remember about 20 years ago they raided their workers houses and fired anyone who had a Air NZ pen at home. Guess the only safe to be in if your caught DIC is a member of Parliament.. They seem immuned to this stuff.. As Sweep says this needs to be clarified in court.. | paulw (1826) | ||

| 832696 | 2009-11-23 09:45:00 | Well the parliament is going to pass more laws as I understand it. Maybe more that should be tested when or if passed. home.nzcity.co.nz Please note that not all laws have been passed yet like ACC levys etc. There again some people did not bother to vote in the last general election so those people should have no say. |

| 832697 | 2009-11-23 19:16:00 | They got sacked for having a Air New Zealand pen? Sure did. Air NZ was looking to get rid of staff and anything they found that was Air NZ property was reason enough to fire you.. |
