(The following story was sent to me by mate Ray from Oz)
An award should go to the Air Niugini Airlines desk attendant in Sydney some months ago for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
A crowded Air Niugini flight had been delayed. A single attendant was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travellers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, ‘I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS’.
The attendant replied, ‘I’m sorry, sir. I’ll be happy to try to help you, but I’ve got to help these people first, and I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.’
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, ‘DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?’
Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address microphone: ‘May I have your attention please, may I have your attention please,’ she began - her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal.
‘We have a passenger here at Desk 38 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Desk 38.’
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the Air Niugini attendant, gritted his teeth and said, ‘F… You!’
Without flinching, she smiled and said, (I love this bit)
‘I’m sorry, sir, but you’ll have to get in line for that too.
(It sure would be nice to know who the rude person in the story actually is…
Any ideas?)

I’d like to know who the attendant is???
And was she Papua New Guinean or Australian?
I’d be inclined to think that she would be from PNG and getting her “own” back.
