Flight Attendant Found Inside Overhead Container
In July 2019, a similar video of a stunt by a flight attendant from Southwest Airlines had gone viral. The flight attendant was found lying inside an overhead bin of the airlines. She was talking to passengers from the compartment.
The video was shared by a passenger Veronica Lloyd who had boarded her flight from Nashville to Atlanta. After surprising the passengers, the flight attendant got back to her routine work. After the video went viral, the Southwest Airlines issued a statement in this regard.
"Southwest Employees are known for demonstrating their sense of humor and unique personalities. In this instance, one of our Flight Attendants attempted to have a brief moment of fun with customers during boarding," it stated.
"Of course, this is not our normal procedure, and Southwest crew always maintain safety as their top priority," the official clarified in the statement.
