qantas tweeted a comp to win a prize, and you were supposed to tweet your greatest luxury wish on a flight. Then THIS happened!

Qantas misjudged the public sentiment & ran a small competition which backfired, resulting in outpouring of negative reactions

Unfair Qantas lockout. Silent on Twitter throughout stupid lockout. Now Twitter competition to win 30 buck PJs

a comp where u needed to use that hashtag to describe what QL is. Quickly got hijacked in a very big way.

it was a promo campaign started by Qantas (giving away pajamas!) - it has since been hijacked and adopted sarcastically... :)

yep - this dispute happened http://t.co/RrjsibA2 followed by this tweet http://t.co/m9gjQRey, which lead to the geekalanche!

Labour disputes, grounding their entire fleet, leaving ppl high & dry - not good customer relations right now

Read tweets. When corporations try to use social media for promotion and it all goes wrong

So I guess customers find the idea of #qantasluxury rather contradictory...

It's too long to fit 140 chars, but basically service standards has fallen + they grounded their planes during a pay dispute.
