Photo: Getty ImagesAn off-duty Air New Zealand flight attendant who was drinking on a flight while on prescription medicine and lost travel privileges after a passenger complained about her bad behaviour has failed in an employment case against the airline. During the flight, steps were taken by cabin crew to move the off-duty attendant to the back of the plane. She also claimed having her travel privileges curtailed and the impact on her bonus payment were unjustified and led to her job being affected to her disadvantage. Air NZ had breached its obligations to act in good faith, something the airline denied. The authority found aspects of Dunn's job were not adversely affected to her disadvantage and the company did not breach good faith.
