Qantas boots Vietnam Vet from business class on Melbourne to Adelaide flight

An Australian Vietnam War veteran has lashed out after being booted from his paid business class seat on a Qantas flight to make way for a young employee.

An elderly Vietnam veteran from Adelaide was downgraded from his paid Qantas business class seat on Sunday so a young pilot could travel in luxury to the South Australian capital.

Stephen Jones, 78, and his wife were in the Qantas lounge enjoying a coffee on their way home from a holiday in Christchurch on Sunday when they got the news – just 30 minutes the final Melbourne to Adelaide leg took off.
The reason was that a pilot needed to get to Adelaide for a flight and could only do business class as per an enterprise agreement.

Speaking to Melbourne’s 3AW, Mr Jones said he was offered 5000 Frequent Flyer points and an apology after a letter of complaint.

Such a disgraceful "national carrier".

Nay, a publicly funded disgrace. Between scamming the taxpayers for jobkeeper, human rights abuses in enforcing vaccine mandates, funding of the yes campaign (despite only surviving due to taxpayer bailouts), giving privilege to albo's son, and dozens of other controversies of late it's time to DEFUND qantas, along with the abc.
