In court on Friday the judge told Bomford: 'You are not Donald Trump'

on a Qantas flight from Brisbane to Perth

A former Army Reservist slapped and groped a female flight attendant's bottom in a drunken mid-air assault.

Daniel Bomford, 40, was told by Magistrate Barry Cosgrove that his sleazy behaviour on the Qantas flight from Perth to Brisbane on July 18 was 'simply unacceptable'.

'You are not Donald Trump,' Magistrate Cosgrove told Bomford in Brisbane Magistrates court on Friday.

'You haven't got a public television show and millions of dollars to get you out of it and supporters all around the world.'

Bomford, who spent seven years in the Army Reserve, was drunk when he slapped the flight attendant and 'grabbed her right buttock tightly and curled his fingers around her bottom', the prosecutor told the court.

When the attendant turned around Bomford smiled at her and said: 'You like it.'

He also slapped fellow passengers in the face, punched a plane window and tried to throw a book down the aisle, the court heard.

When the plane landed police arrested Bomford but he refused to get off the plane.

He was then handcuffed and forced off before returning a blood alcohol reading of 0.221.

Bomford's lawyer said his client could not remember the incident and was an alcoholic at the time.

The 40-year-old pleaded guilty to ­assaulting plane crew and behaving in a disorderly manner.

He was given a six-month suspended jail term, a three-year good behaviour bond and fined $1200.
