Most domestic planes wouldn't have enough business class seats for the whole side, would they?

another poster said this earlier in the thread
i'm assuming that means Cousins sat in business class. Could be wrong though.
Judd probably has a squillion frequent flier points from travelling from the west so much, so i'd say he's a Platinum FF Member which will very often get upgraded free of charge to any spare business class seats. gold members sometimes get upgraded but platinum members get upgraded very often
You make too much sense to be on BigFooty.
Cousins and cox are better.
Jordan Russell stinks?
Why don't you respond properly.I also read the part that said that the more senior players used to sit in business class while others sat in coach. Either way, the Eagles quite openly embraced segregation at some point, correct?
I'd like to see how this came to light. There is no link. In fact, the Carlton board suggested prior to this that Judd had flown across on a separate flight for some reason.
Perhaps this is what was noted, Judd in business class with no Carlton coaches or players around him? Or did the person who saw this, walk around the plane to confirm where the other Carlton players were?
It's a little dubious.
Oh ....
Judd does this by himself.
The eagles had senior and larger players do it.
Big difference.
Seriously though I think he's scared of carlton's shitness rubbing off on him.
The funniest bit in this is the paper Judd was supposedly reading.
Oh dear, reading about finance, what a snob!
Get over it you idiots. Not everyone celebrates mediocrity.
On where Judd sits:
1. Edited: I was wrong about this!.
2. The airline may well upgrade him for reason of their own.
3. Judd may have some valid reason for travelling in buniness, injury concerns, flight anxiety, etc.
4. Judd might pay for the upgrade himself (have it taken out of his wages) if he considers it important enough for him.
A total non issue, unless you are a Carlton player and know the full details and find it a problem. As for the rest of us.
Who cares.

We are still waiting to hear exactly how this "came to light".
Perhaps it didn't come to light at all - perhaps kane249 fabricated it all for his own amusement! Strange how nobody seems to be coming forward to corroborate the story? Hmmmm?
imagine if he played for west coast this year?

Why any player would not try to sit in business class is beyond me. I have experienced the two and you feel 100x better when you get off a business class flight. It is obviously better preperation for him to sit there than up the back.
Hands down the smartest post I have read on Bigfooty.
Yes he would, you get points for the name on the boarding pass, not who pays for it.
Are frequent flyer points included in the salary cap. I think the AFL should investigate as a possible breach.
yeah he would have heaps of FF points. and they go to the individual not the company except i think for government employees (?).
But having said that it does show a bit of a tosser attitude to sit by yourself in business class reading the financial review while the rest of the team flys up back. On that, anyone read an article last week where Daniel Kerr was interviewed and he said he'd spoken to Judd about the game this week being a sell out? Judd's reply was something like "The Judd Man always pulls a crowd". WTH? "The Judd Man" - hmm, not a tosser at all...I noticed Aka made reference to it on TFS last night...had a bit of a laugh.

Wrong. I certainly don't pay for my flights, but most certainly get the points.
Great post from a non-Carlton supporter. Glad you put this all in perspective
After all the earlier threads I was seriously contemplating switching teams and barracking for St. Kilda. I was just devastated to hear Judd was sitting in business class
Except is partly wrong.
the Eagles players (and all players) do indeed get to keep the frequent flyer points from their flights.
Source = an Eagles player who was telling me he never has time to use them!
May as well spend them on upgrades.
Juddy would have millions.
