Athletes Return to Australia with Qantas

[Snorzac]

They all get back tomorrow and according to channel 7 the medal winners will be in buissness class while the rest sit in ecconomy. How tight is that

[Sir Pompously]

Not really, I mean put some thought into it. Medal winners get Business because there are only a certain amount of business seats on an Aircraft. The rest get economy because, as I said before, there are only a limited number of business class seats on an aircraft.

Many of the Athletes commented on how the Gold winners sat in First Class, whereas Business class was occupied by Silver/Bronze medal winners.

[Busnerd]

Seriously, who cares...I don't think they care either...I mean they got to represent the country at the olympics, i hardly think any one cares that they had to sit in economy on a chartered 747
