A flight attendant for China Eastern Airlines was fired after her boyfriend proposed to her on board
ZitatA flight attendant has apparently lost her job after being proposed to while she was working.
Her former employer, China Eastern Airlines, said she abandoned her duties.
Apparently, by accepting the proposal, she jeopardised the security of passengers.
People online are divided about the issue.
Back in May, a video went viral of a flight attendant's boyfriend proposing to her on board a plane. Passengers caught the moment on their phones and seemed to be touched by the romantic gesture. But as it has transpired, everything didn't go to plan afterwards.
According to Channel 8 News, the flight attendant actually lost her job as a result.
The Channel reported that the flight attendant had been fired because while accepting her boyfriend's proposal, she neglected passenger safety.
China Eastern Airlines — the airline she worked for — said the proposal happened mid-flight, which meant there was a disturbance that was irresponsible and jeopardised the security of passengers.
