Przepraszam tych, ktorzy nie znaja angielskiego ale tekst jest
nieprzetlumaczalny:
It has been reported that an employee for Ansett Australia (Airlines), who
happened to have the last name of Gay, got on a plane recently using the
company's "Free Flight" offer for staff. However, when Mr Gay tried to take
his seat, he found it being occupied by a fare paying passenger.
So, not to make a fuss, he simply chose another seat. Unknown to Mr Gay
another Ansett flight at the airport experienced mechanical problems. The
passengers of this flight were being re-routed to various other airplanes. A
few were put on Mr Gay's flight and anyone who was holding a "free" ticket
was being "bumped". Ansett officials, armed with a list of these "freebee"
ticket holders boarded the plane, as is the practice, to remove them in
favour of fare paying passengers. Of course, our Mr Gay was not sitting in
his assigned seat as you may remember. So when the Ticket Agent approached
the seat there Mr Gay was supposed to be sitting, she asked a startled
customer "Are you gay?" The man, shyly nodded that he was, at which point she
demanded: "Then you have to get off the plane."
Mr Gay, overhearing what the Agent had said, tried to clear up the
situation: "You've got the wrong man. I'm Gay!" This caused an angry third
passenger to yell "Hell! I'm gay too! They can't kick us all off!"
Confusion reined as more and more passengers began yelling that Ansett had no
right to remove gays from their flights.
It is reported that Ansett have refused to comment on the incident.
