Stewardess calls in bomb threat to get day off
Sure, I like my days off. But I’ve never considered sending in a bomb threat to get an extra vacation day.
A Sri Lankan Airlines stewardess was fired last week for calling in a fake bomb threat to her employer so that she could get an extra day off. Unfortunately for the stewardess, she made the poor decision of calling from her boyfriend’s phone which made it traceable back to her.
The airline did not take the threat lightly as two bomb threats have been called in within the past 30 days, one on October 3rd and one of September 8th. In both previous cases the planes were forced to land and evacuate. One passenger was killed and 20 injured during the evacuation of the September 8th threat.
