EasyJet is well known for being a budget no frills airline, but it’s a first when two of the cabin crew get thrown off the plane and not the passengers.

Luckily, TV presenter Dan Lobb was on the flight from Gatwick to Belfast where the crew members became involved in a disagreement and was able to live tweet the whole thing. A real first, as Dan Lobb says:
This is a first. My @easyJet flight has returned to gate because the cabin crew have had a tiff! 1 crew member being offloaded. Delayed.

Because a couple crew members don't get on, the whole @easyJet flight has been delayed!! Unbelievable.

Update. Doors open, 3 @easyJet cabin crew members are on the cockpit having s meeting!!

The @easyJet captain is explaining why we're being delayed! This is unreal. 2 crew members being offloaded!! pic.twitter.com/59oNzv3uHV

Some more context for you – these @easyJet crew only had to get through ONE day together in order to avoid this. A 1 hour flight to Belfast.

"Please be patient with us" says the captain. Water being offered. Suggests those at the back should come to the front where it's cooler…

This is quite incredible. We've all worked with people we don't get on with right? But this tiff means a 1 hr flight is delayed!! @easyJet
— Dan Lobb (@danlobb) August 24, 2016
Loads of kids on this flight, a few babies – what a ridiculous situation. Captain doing his best but everyone is agog! @easyJet

"Ok…if we continue this tiff then the passengers will suffer. If we leave it then they won't suffer at all……..sod 'em, let's continue"

They just don't like each other!! A disagreement over unwrapping water bottles or something!! https://t.co/y6w3XawWwi

Replacement @easyJet crew are on their way! Ones called Katie Hopkins & the other Piers Morgan. I think they'll get on just fine…
— Dan Lobb (@danlobb) August 24, 2016
One hour after departure time & 2 new @easyJet crew members are on board! Doors being closed…again. Wonder if @easyJet will respond…?
— Dan Lobb (@danlobb) August 24, 2016
Right, one of the original crew is doing a safety briefing. Time to change mode. I hope we've all learned something here today @easyJet
— Dan Lobb (@danlobb) August 24, 2016
Landed roughly 90 mins late. To all news people asking, feel free to use pic. In the circumstances the captain spoke really well to us!
— Dan Lobb (@danlobb) August 24, 2016
Just to finish my @easyJet day on a positive note, I didn't pass any empty seats and found mine with ease. 1C.

Nice swipe at Corbs there mate, but I suppose you have to give the guy a break after he’s been sat on a plane for over an hour waiting for it to take off whilst two members of the cabin crew have some dumb argument about water bottles and how they’re stacked properly? I mean why would anyone even give a fuck about this in the first place and why would you not just back down and do what the other guy wanted so as to not piss everyone off? It’s stacking a water bottle FFS. I suppose this is EasyJet though so we should probably expect it.
For another classic EasyJet story, here’s an excellent story about Kate Moss getting hammered on one of their flights.
