LIVE TWEETS: A flight to Belfast was delayed because two airline staff couldn’t stand each other

Paul Moore

The DJ duo of Disclosure were on board.

We’ve all worked with a colleague that we don’t like but when a fire starts to burn in your head at the sheer sight of them, it’s probably best to ignore those angry voices that swirl around in your noggin. Some might say that you should heed no attention to their remarks, filter their words out like they’re just white noise in the background, but it’s almost impossible to give them a second chance.

Before take-off, there was some bad omens for the passengers on this easyJET flight from London Gatwick to Belfast after their flight was delayed by 90 minutes following a “verbal disagreement” between two crew members.

Broadcaster Dan Lobb live tweeted the whole thing and the uberly brilliant duo of Disclosure were also on board to offer their insight.

The airline staff weren’t being drunk, rowdy or disorderly. They just didn’t like each other.
