To be fair, they were on a chartered Sunwing flight (the legroom on them is criminal but I digress). It's that quasi grey area between flying commercial and flying private. No doubt they went way overboard with the partying, and the flight attendants are not paid nearly enough to give babysit and police these complete idiots. Hell, actual babysitters probably get paid more than the poor flight attendants that had to be on this flight.

Hearing that other Canadian airlines have refused to fly them. Be real funny if they get added to the US no-fly list as well. Consequences.

What happened to the World Junior team on Westjet (Russian team?) that were acting like a bunch of 17 year olds? I recall they were taken off the flight by RCMP officers.

Russia and the Czech got into some scuffle on the plane, but all the other European teams were backing up the Czech that the Russians started shit.

Reminds me of the infamous WWE flight.

Was a good episode to watch too.

It's much funnier that it's not only Canadian airlines are refusing to fly them, but they're refusing to fly them home. I hope they have to walk, entitled pricks.

Edit: their hurt may be significant - transport Canada investigating.

Similar theme but while we're on 'Social media influencers' ... does anyone else think that they are one of the most useless profession/work in our society? Even a custodian or sanitation engineer who picks up my garbage/recycling is doing something useful!

The people that handle waste management are up near the top of the essential workers rankings. Their importance was very apparent during the holidays where bins of garbage and recycling piled-up, and overflowed.

I think the worst ones are the foodie ones. Seen young girls in their 20's constantly flexing new restaurants and all that shit they eat. Some literally are so fat already (I'm saying to myself, these people need to stop eating). Can't imagine what they'll look like in say 10 years.

The sad thing is there’s no way any of those influencers actually eat the food… they just order it and photograph it and take a couple bites for their story and then toss the rest.

Influencers are the 19th century bible thumpers, building someone else a fortune in hopes of getting a glimmer for them selves

Losing employment, too.

https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/sunwing-...home-1.5731519

Quote:
Some of the passengers of the now-infamous Sunwing "party plane" on Dec. 30 will be coming home to unhappy employers or worse, with at least two already fired.

Frédérique Dumas-Joyal is one of them, losing her job of several years at Quebec's financial markets authority, the AMF.

"She was fired," Sylvain Théberge, an AMF spokesperson, said Friday.

Dumas-Joyal was an information officer at the authority. According to her LinkedIn page, she began working there in 2017, and she has also studied law at Laval University.

She also spent some earlier years working in the hotel industry and is a popular figure in the Quebec social media world, with an Instagram page showing nights out, including, this week, exploits in Tulum, Mexico, with the group of fellow influencers and TV stars who flew there on a charter flight.

A picture of Dumas-Joyal circulated showing her wearing a bright red stretchy triangular cloth over her face on the trip, appearing to be underwear, in place of a mask.

She took down her Instagram account between Wednesday and Friday of this week and could not be reached for comment.

Théberge elaborated more on her firing to other media, saying that “the Authority learned with amazement the facts surrounding one of its employees. We dissociate ourselves completely from her actions and deplore the events that have occurred."

Most of the group of roughly 150 remain in Mexico, with Canadian airlines blocking them from buying return flights, saying they are a risk to passenger safety.

Some have contracted COVID-19 and are self-isolating in Mexico, and a small number have managed to return to Quebec.

REAL ESTATE AGENT LOSES HIS JOB
Dumas-Joyal is not the only one to face real-life consequences after videos and photos of the flight were published showing people drinking and partying in the aisles without masks.

Sutton-Quebec confirmed to CTV News on Friday that real estate agent Karl Bernard has been suspended "with no possibility to be reinstated."

The agency's CEO said the company had "no other option but to take immediate action" as soon as it was made aware of the situation.

"The Sutton brand and the professionals behind the brand cannot endorse or be associated with any deviant or dangerous behaviour," CEO Julie Gaucher wrote in a statement.

"It is unfortunate that the lack of judgement and disrespect of one person can put at risk the reputation of a brand... that we have proudly built from scratch for the last 27 years, and tarnish the reputation of our Sutton brokers and our franchisees, which in no way can be associate with this kind of behaviour."

Two of the young women on the trip are also aspiring pilots, frequently posting about their training in Longueuil and Lachute, respectively. Transport Canada says it is looking into whether this week's events could affect their certification.

Several mainstream media personalities were also present, including people who have appeared on two Quebec reality shows, Occupation Double and L'Ile de L'Amour.

A spokesperson for L'Ile de L'Amour, which airs on TVA, said the three women who appeared in Season One and are involved in the Sunwing situation were not scheduled to participate in the upcoming season and the show has no further ties with them.

"The association with all Islanders in Season 1 is completed and ended, including the three ex-Islanders involved in the Sunwing flight," said spokesperson Junior Bombardier.

^ yah but employment laws tend to favour those who act like arses off hours ... I remember one story where some pretty high up got let go/fired cuz he shouted FHIHP to a live lady TV reporter only to have himself reinstated.

But yah, a bit of public shaming on that group of clowns is good.
