Pilot criticised over Liverpool theft joke
Passengers on board an EasyJet flight that flew over Liverpool have complained after the captain advised them to hold on to their wallets. According to the online news provider Ananova, quoting the Daily Mirror, the captain said: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are at 35,000 feet. Please hold on to your wallets, we’re flying over Liverpool.” Passengers reportedly complained about the comment, which was made on a flight from Belfast to Stansted. One is quoted as saying: “I’m from Liverpool and I think it’s a disgrace. I paid good money for my seat and don’t expect to be slagged off by the pilot. EasyJet is meant to be a professional operation.” A spokesman for the no-frills carrier reportedly said: “The pilot isn’t the type to crack jokes in-flight, but we do encourage jokes to make customers feel more comfortable. We think the passengers must have misunderstood him.” Report by Tim Gillett, News From Abroad Ltd
