Unlike the boys in 2019, we know Lisa will be bringing the big guns

The Olyroos and the rugby Seven’s mens Olympic teams are under a series of immediate investigations following a written complaint sent from Japan Airlines to the Australian Olympic Committee about obnoxious and unsafe behaviour on a flight home.
Both teams were involved in hours of rowdy and drunken antics on the 10-hour flight from Tokyo to Sydney which arrived on Friday morning.
Passengers on the flight have told News Corp that the men were “loud, singing, refusing to sit down when requested, rowdy and obnoxious’’.
“Obviously they weren’t wearing their masks as they were drinking all the time,’’ said a passenger.
Around halfway through the flight some of the players were terribly drunk and more than one began vomiting and one toilet nearby was “wasted”.
Airline staff on board were frustrated because the athletes refused to heed instructions to sit down, and they kept raiding alcohol from the galley at the rear of the Boeing 787, despite pleas from the airline staff not to do so.
It is unusual for an airline to acknowledge any issues and highly rare for them to file a written complaint.

Against teams maybe. Against Pax not so much.
And yes STRAYA where most of my unruly passengers were from. As much as I loved going to the HK sevens, I hated being the pilot getting the fans there.

There's a complaint against NZ athletes too, but nothing official. I guess they were just loud, which could be annoying in a plane. But I would give them slack

Probably a bunch of Karens in the other seats. Fuck em, let the athletes relax and enjoy each other's company

who the fuck else is on the plane? It's not like you can just rock up here when you like.

And there can't be very many either. The flight attendants even offered for other passengers to sit up front if they wanted peace. I reckon it would have been great sitting amongst it, soaking up the energy

Same, to an extent. What these athletes need to remember is they aren't on a contiki tour bus. Some passengers aren't as appreciative of their efforts.
It is slightly amusing to have the crew changeover find you in the galley searching for whatever booze remains because the take-off crew thought it easier on everyone rather than us continually asking. Apparently that wasn't mentioned in the handover brief.

Key difference is turned down music when asked, wore masks when asked, and settled down when asked. Otherwise partied and drank half the booze on teh plane ... well done
