Flight Attendants’ Association of Australia has urged not to speculate on what might have happened to the two crew members of Virgin Australia who have claimed they are victims of a serios sexual assault and theft.
Union federal secretary Teri O’Toole said it appeared the airline had acted very quickly, adding Flight Attendants’ Association of Australia had not received an official approach for assistance.
“I believe these crew were on what we would call an overnight, so they would get to Fiji, wait and (their) flight would leave the next day,” she said.
Ms O’Toole said there had been a lot of guesswork about what had happened and urged people not to speculate while respecting the crew’s privacy during the police investigation.
“This is not a very common thing but it’s not something that’s never happened before either.”
“It’s very disturbing for their friends and colleagues. Everyone is very concerned for their welfare.”
Fiji Police said yesterday they had interviewed a suspect in the case.
