Party time on Sunwing!

[RB211]

You don’t know your kids then.

Touché!! That burned!

[AirFrame]

They must all be dead by now or in the ICU with the super duper deadly omicron variant? Oh wait.....

Apparently they were sticking vaseline up their noses before their test here in Canada in order to thwart the COVID test. So who knows how many of them had it before they left. Reports are that 30 of them have it now.

Our Man-child PM loves these kinds of distractions, he can look tough instead of the ------- he really is.

So much hate and judging for the partying ! Omg, the jumping up and down may have damaged the airplane! The drinking! The vaping! The horror! These people should be canceled for life! Even the PM is disappointed!

Good grief.

These people chartered their own airplane. A party plane with a DJ to ramp things up. A few minutes of video tells us very little of what went on during the flight. Although, it does tell us how judgemental most people can be.

Were the passengers given tacit approval? “Hey, it is your plane , have fun”. I wonder if the crew was invited to the party on the layover?

No one here knows the full story. Stop asking for peoples’ lives to be ruined for having a good time.

Sunwing, like all other Canadian airlines, give passengers a briefing that is congruent with the Commercial Air Service Standards. Part of these briefings inform passengers that smoking and vaping is not allowed on board, nor is the consumption of your own alcohol.

If you are okay with people disobeying a flight crew member's instruction, you do belong in the industry. I expect every single one of my teammates on my aircraft to hold the same minimum standard as set out by regulation.

I bet those Russian hockey coaches who were kicked off the AC flight wish they had chartered Sunwing

[Liftdump]

No shit, that is really funny.

They should call them Mullet Flights ,
Business in the front , party in the back

Absolutely lame party flight ,zero nips , and not a naked prince or princess to be seen .
The winner for the most boring party of 2022 is this sad sacks flight of boring uninteresting tourists . Compared to the average 18-30 flight into Magaluf ( Shagaluff) this party flight looked really lame . No food , no nudity just loud and obnoxious does not constitute a party unless you are in Key West . An absolute sausage fest of boredom .
They should be banned for attempting to call this a party .
The only whores on that flight were attention whores .

Looks like a spreader event for oanists or a recruitment flight for the Incel

On a flight safety note : Did anyone turn the fasten seat belt signs on ?

Amazing how stories get reported, and changed over time.

when I first read about this one, it was before all the hoopla on social media. As I read about it then, the group got out of hand on the way down, to the point the FA's could no longer keep control of what was happening in the cabin. After they were in Mexico, the airline contacted the group rep and told them they would have to keep the group under control for the flight home. That meant no smoking or vaping, no climbing over and around the seats, and there would be no alcohol permitted. the group refused those conditions, so, the return flight was cancelled.

Only after it was cancelled did they start making a stink on social media, then the press picked it up.

Me thinks this is simply a case of 'you made your bed, now go lay in it'.

[rookiepilot]

So 3 questions:

The organizer is apparently very upset the airlines won’t fly them back under any conditions.

Too bad.

1. Don’t busses operate in Mexico? They aren't stranded.

2. Why do people think they have the right to enter private property or be served by a private business? They don’t. And a business owner doesn't need a reason to tell anyone to refuse to sell them a product or service.

3. WTF is an influencer Anyway? Not that i care.

That alone is a clue. The whole thing including the stranding in Mexico — looks like a planned stunt for someone’s YouTube channel. Get more followers. They would have done the same thing on a normally scheduled flight, I would bet, too. To get attention.

Its a reality show, live on an airliner.

It backfired. Ban em’. Let them hitchhike home.

Zero sympathy.

Here ya go in-flight Aer Lingus dance party, you tell me there wasn't a nip or two and the jigs/reels. That FA can really step it out.....

[PilotDAR]

Would that be acceptable behaviour on a city bus, rapid transit, VIA train, taxi cab, Greyhound bus, etc.

CSM

If I chartered it - yes, perhaps it would be

If you OWN the airplane/bus/limo etc, it is safely parked on private property, and everyone on board is an informed, willing participant, have at it - it's none of my business.

If you are the qualified operator of the vehicle, you're operating it within the applicable regulations for passenger safety, and the passengers are behaving within the regulations and crew briefings, have at it - though there'd not be much "it" left after that.

But, the fact that you can afford/arrange to rent a ride in someone else's vehicle does not give you the right to do what you want in it! Behave like a respectful citizen!

When I was (briefly) a corporate co pilot, the passengers, being employees of the owner of the airplane, thought it was okay to bring their own booze, and get hammered on the home. It was not. We pilots would not tolerate it, and very specific company policy was applied, which pretty well said what the CARs did - do what the crew said al the time, and don't bring your own booze. The cabin seat people were a little grumpy after that, but compliant.

If there were aviation/pilot students aboard that flight, I too would expel them - wrong attitude! And, if the CAR's offense sticks, prosecute them - why would they be entitled to a let, when certainly at least some of them knew better!

I always expect to be hold myself to a standard which is at least decent, I'm unsympathetic for those who choose less for themselves!

Good on them for enjoying the Flight. In the grand scheme of things I believe Canada as a country has a lot more issues to be concerned with right now.

Amen! Such as the disturbing rise of authoritarianism, as seen all too often on this forum.

You guys are free to create your "Utopian Micronation" With whatever definition you have of Utopia.
Just add one to this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_micronations
And call it "Partytimeforall" No law, no rules, no order and no need of any vaccinations while at it.


Good luck!

As i said, and maybe why this took a week to show up in the media:

“There were “flight attendants dancing with us,” he alleged”

I have very little difficulty believing that part.

Why didn't the FA’s complain in flight if pax were that bad? Did they at all? Hmmmmm.

Definitely more to this story me thinks than a few drunk pax.

PartyWing’s silence….has been interesting. Wonder what really happened.

IF — IF true what should the penalty be for the FA’s?

IF, before everyone loses their crap….

[Old fella]

I hear what you are saying rookie. Personally I think this “organizer” latest media commentary on CTV is directed at the various authorities who publicly stated the possible or could be prosecutions resulting in heavy fines. In other words, he(organizer)has evidence that is contrary to what said authorities think they have. Whether such evidence if you want to call it that is credible, that will be for the courts to decide. Perhaps legal counsel has been consulted by this event organizer dude , who knows or cares really.

In the big scheme of things, this was a non- event, nothing really happened , no damage or injuries. It indeed just may quietly fade away from a prosecution prospective and may not get(hopefully) to page five on this AvCanada thread.

By your leave

He says that partying was allowed because he told them that they could do it?

That's not how laws work. I could explain why vaping and drinking your own alcohol on board an aircraft is prohibited, but that's something that any flight crew member should already know.
