Fired! (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17115386/)
Should she have been?

If she was on duty, yes.
If it was her day off, and she just happened to be on the plane, no.

Um, I'm not a big fan of advocating for people to be fired, but since she admitted to having sex with him (I hadn't actually heard that yet) I don't think you can exactly blame the airline for firing her.
I mean, yeah, they could have reprimanded her, but I'm not going to get into a huff because they fired her instead.
On another note, for sex with Ralph Fiennes I might even be prepared to pay for the upgrade to First. :p

She tried to sell the story. So firing her is the best option. Lets the moral conservatives know that you won't stand for this, but still lets the kinky people know that they can probably get some hanky panky whilst flying Qantas.
If this hadn't have been leaked to the press then I wouldn't have fired her.

Nice! "Now I suppose they'll be wanting Ralphie on all our flights." He'll be one tired pup!

She had a hollywood actor ready to - her. A lot of peopel would have done the same. She probably felt that it was worth losing her job.
Mmmmwell I kinda believe it's OK to fire her - she seems to have neglected her duties
...to the other passengers, that is...

I want to fly somewhere with Qantas all of a sudden.
I don't blame her for the sex (if I were a flight attendant and Lucy Liu wanted to do it with me I'd do it), but she does deserve to get fired for it regardless - if only for using someone else's property for sex. In that principle I'd fire her much like I'd send packing a friend of mine if I found him having sex in my bedroom without my permission. Worse, though, is her selling the story. But still understandable, she WOULD need some cash after getting canned. :p

of course she should be fired.
not that i blame her for her choice to have sex with ralph fiennes.
Yes, she should have been fired. If everyone had hot sex with celebrities while on the job, then the world would cease to function. :p

Not true! We would all be much happier, and there wouldn't be war or hunger or poverty, either! Hey, it's worth a shot ;)
Having sex while you are working is an offense that you can be terminated for yes? I would have no problem with this.
Anyway, I was more interested in the "breaking news" banner about the Montana Senate abolishing the death penalty.

Yeah, I read the OP and I thought "Montana Senate fired the death penalty?"
Anyway, she was at work. She should have been fired.

How can it be only 1 hour after you guys posted and there's no mention of this anywhere on MSNBC anymore? *confused*

Guess they don't care to have it as "breaking news" anymore. But the article is still under U.S. News.

The article says they only have two people on death row. Nice to know they have no population in Montana so no real crimes occur there very often. :p

Oh. I had clicked "US News" and had seen it neither in Top Stories nor among the headlines of "Crime & Punishment". Didn't think to click on the "More" for further potential headlines, but lo and behold, there it is! Definitely less important than
• 16 to life for killing therapist husband
• Abducted boy found safe
• Charges refiled over refusal to deploy
• Man charged with dumping dead pets
• Police: Man stole up to 300 cars which are the headlines you can see from the front page...

Huh. When I looked earlier it was there. Guess MSNBC doesn't care that much anymore...
