I was there when this happened and the fact the bag didn’t fit in the test unit breaches the policy of this ticket. If you were there you would have seen the Flight attendant put other passengers bags of all colours into the test unit too. So your comment about the colour is pathetic and not true. There was no problem they just simply wanted to put the bag into the hold with no extra charge. The problem arrised when their behaviour became inappropriate. NO airline will accept behaviour like this, whether it’s a low-cost airline or not. Anyways who wants to travel with people like this who have no respect for rules because they think they are above everyone else because they are a C Grade Celebrity. An oversized bag if it falls out of a locker can possibly kill someone. It’s not Jetstars fault people don’t understand that.

So I`m not allowed the odd typing error?
Yes I may have sworn and cursed if I was denied entry to the flight after I was checked in. The queen comment?. So it`s not ok to be homophobic but fine to be racist.
Yes I was being serious about it. If the check in attendant felt the bag was ok, why was it questioned again.

Um, coloured? Are you serious? The fact that you admit the likelihood that you would behave in a similar fashion is entirely reasonably. Why wouldn’t you? There is clearly not enough homophobic bellowing at lowly paid airline employees. They should show more respect. With cheap tickets comes great responsibility. I like your punctuation by the way, it’s great,’!

I have it on good authority that Jasons bag was ok`d at check in and that it was only on boarding that this happened. If check in staff were ok with it why should another attendant query it.
Jason is coloured, perhaps that has more to do with it than anything else.
Apologies are necessary surely,. The anal comments were attributed to Carla, which made it sound bad for her. Her comments, made after Jason was denied access to the flight seem pretty reasonable. Indeed I might have made a similar comment were I being told my boyfriend couldn`t access the flight.
