"Video circulating of an incident on an easyJet flight about to take off for Spain. Two men sat in the Emergency Exit seats took their shoes off presumably to relax on the flight. An air hostess asked them to put their shoes back on so as not to obstruct the exit. Police called and members of the flight mutinied to get the men to stay on the plane. Flight took off three hours later... Does mob rule work ?" If it'sallowed to rule sometimes, we shouldn't be surprised that more people get that message. | |||

"Video circulating of an incident on an easyJet flight about to take off for Spain. Two men sat in the Emergency Exit seats took their shoes off presumably to relax on the flight. An air hostess asked them to put their shoes back on so as not to obstruct the exit. Police called and members of the flight mutinied to get the men to stay on the plane. Flight took off three hours later... Does mob rule work ?" Pretty simple. The seats they were sat in are primary evacuation exits during a ditching. Passengers there have to firstly have to meet certain criteria to be able to sit there. They have to agree they will assist in an evacuation. If they can't answer yes then they have to be moved. Secondly as this is an exit,any loose items (shoes in this case) need to be put on. Things most people wouldn't even consider like blankets/pillows/jackets become slip/trip hazards when yr trying to get 160 people min out of 4 small port holes basically. If a simple instruction given just to put yr shoes in for take off and landing can't be taken the crew member will ave to access whether the person sitting there is deemed capable of following any other instructions during an emergency. It's very straightforward and clear can the passengers at these rows be responsible enough to follow commands. Its safety related and can make a difference to lives being lost. People often 'book' these rows without even knowing what they are committing to because of the leg room. Some airlines even have it in their booking system whereby when u choose these seats they will ask u if yr disabled, obese, pregnant, over 16 because the exit weighs over 20kgs and the people sitting there ave to remove it and throw it out. Considered prime seats by many business travellers because of the extra room, they also come at a price and responsibility. Once given those seats (and yes people lie) most people don't like being moved. If the flight was full and the guys weren't happy about moving or just refused to obey the commands of the crew (its illegal and a criminal offence under aviation law not to obey crew commands on board an aircraft) then it leaves the crew no choice but to have passengers off loaded. Not sure how this situation was handled but Im sure Easyjet didn't take this option lightly and would 've cost them thousands. | |||

It's disappointing when people can't use some decency and common sense. Minutes to put shoes on versus hours late to leave  . The other passengers will probably tolerate much, if they can get away rather than be held hostage by inconsiderate, dangerous men. | |||

The request from the crew were met with lots of disagreement and arguing. It's really not something that's up "for discussion" or even debatable.

Whatever actually happened the chain of events led to the Police being called. That's the last resort and no one really knows what was said on either side but the fact is the crew were met with a lot of obstruction to what seems a simple request but an extremely important one. | |||

They huffed and put shoes on as requested, the crew felt this warranted calling armed police to remove them.The other passengers objected to this, result...flight crew were removed by easyjet. | |||

Considered prime seats by many business travellers because of the extra room, they also come at a price and responsibility. Once given those seats (and yes people lie) most people don't like being moved. If the flight was full and the guys weren't happy about moving or just refused to obey the commands of the crew (its illegal and a criminal offence under aviation law not to obey crew commands on board an aircraft) then it leaves the crew no choice but to have passengers off loaded. Not sure how this situation was handled but Im sure Easyjet didn't take this option lightly and would 've cost them thousands.
It's disappointing when people can't use some decency and common sense. Minutes to put shoes on versus hours late to leave . The other passengers will probably tolerate much, if they can get away rather than be held hostage by inconsiderate, dangerous men.
Its a simple request and after take off u take them back off and put them back on for landing. Its also rather easy to comply with and takes no effort to just slip them back on but sadly nowadays there's an element of "I can do what I like and u can't tell me what to do."
They did put their shoes on. They "huffed" but they put them on. The other passengers objected to them being thrown off the flight.
I'm glad someone read the article and saw the footage ! They huffed and put shoes on as requested, the crew felt this warranted calling armed police to remove them.The other passengers objected to this, result...flight crew were removed by easyjet."I think there would've been more to this as police aren't called for this reason. Under normal circumstances this kinda conflict can be easily resolved so something else must've happened to have escalated it to this stage. The crew were removed because the situation took a while to resolve and they would ave gone out of hours to operate. Bearing in mind the crew must've already done 2 sectors prior to this flight reducing the rest of the time they could be on duty. The added 3 hour delay would've put them out of hours to continue- able to operate the flight outbound but not operate it back causing the return flight to be cancelled. It becomes a logistics nightmare cancelling flights esp when its peak season and full flights. | |||

Fella called Luke Gayle by the looks of it (not sure how it helps). He's a racial justice ambassador (not that it makes a huge difference but all the online headlines focus in on race too) | |||

"I would be pissed off of I was on that flight then had a three hour delay .." Im sure everyone woulda been pissed off but sadly people don't always look at the bigger picture. The safety of the aircraft is the airline's sole responsibility. Safety is the top priority even if it means delays or upset passengers. Any safety related incidents that are catastrophic or questionable always have a negative impact on future bookings. | |||

"Very stupid to break that rule. Emergency exit rows must be kept clear of all potential obstacles, including bags, shoes and coats, and keeping shoes on until after take-off is advisable. Under the Air Navigation Order 2016 it is an offence to disobey the commander (captain) or their crew. Mob rule doesn't work. I was at a sleazyjet departure gate, when a passenger asked another to take his bag on the plane for him. He had too many bags, he didn't want to pay the baggage fee. The gate staff stopped him, reported him to security, who then got the police. The passenger got arrested, despite 30 people protesting about it." I stopped flying with these companies years ago for this very reason.. too many chancers and morons | |||
