Okay, we love flight attendants and despite what people think, they have a pretty tough job but we just had to go “Doh!!” when we heard the following story.
A Virgin Blue flight attendant has been sacked after he placed a 17 month old boy in the overhead bin during a game of peek-a-boo.
During the flight from Fiji to Sydney the flight attendant and Natalie Williamson (17 month old, Riley’s mother) were playing the child’s game with the young boy when the crew member suddenly picked up the child, placed him the in overhead bin and left him in total darkness for up to 10 second, The Huffington Post reported.
Ms Williamson told media that she was crying and her husband also travelling on the flight was in shock, while other passengers laughed at the flight attendant’s action.
Virgin Blue admitted to the source that an incident had occurred, the crew member had lost his position with the airline and the Williamsons had been offered three free flights which are yet to be claimed by the family.
