A male flight attendant is being investigated by Jetstar over allegations he contacted a teenage girl on Facebook using details from passenger records.
The Jetstar attendant sent the 15-year-old girl several messages via the social media website after a flight from the Sunshine Coast to Melbourne last month
The girl did not give him her name but within hours of the flight landing in Melbourne the man had added her to his Facebook page and sent her several friend requests, the girl’s mother says.
The woman, who was on the flight with the 15-year-old and another daughter, is reported to have complained to the airline about the breach of privacy.
“He’s accessing the names of passengers, particularly my daughters who are underage, and then he’s using that information to contact them. I find that really disturbing,” she told ABC radio’s AM program.
A Jetstar spokesman said the airline is investigating the complaint and will interview the flight attendant today.

Errrrrr why ?? Over reaction……..or what!!!? Develop a sense of proportion. The person concerned appears to have misused some information in his possession and even that seems questionable (see above). Could it be media hype….surely not ??!!!!

This doesn’t really make sense.
He wouldn’t have been able to add her to facebook without her consent, and to my knowledge one can only send a single friend request (certainly only one at a time). Another badly researched story methinks…
My thoughts exactly…
