Jetstar forced to re-instate accused hostess

 Jetstar Airways has been forced to re-instate an air hostess accused of murder in South Africa.
Monique Neeteson-Lemkes was dismissed by the low-cost carrier after a psychological study determined her unfit to continue working in a safety critical role, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
The psychological analysis was ordered by Jetstar one year after an incident occurred on a flight between Sydney and Darwin in August 2011.
Ms Neeteson-Lemkes said she discovered a device in the toilet of the aircraft that had “every appearance of being a bomb,” according to Fair Work Commissioner Donna McKenna.
A workers’ compensation claim for anxiety and depression was lodged by Ms Neeteson-Lemkes, exacerbated by what she said was the airlines’ inadequate response to the “bomb” incident.
Ms Neeteson-Lemkes came to prominence in Australia when she gave evidence to a 2011 Senate aviation inquiry, highlighting exhausting work conditions and low morale at Jetstar.
South African prosecutors recently issued an indictment against Ms Neeteson-Lemkes, alleging she was the masterminded behind the brutal murder of mother-of-three Betty Ketani in 1999.
The flight attendant, who has denied any wrongdoing in relation to the murder, could face extradition proceedings to South Africa.
