Irony thy name is Flight Attendant

Randall Wulff, a flight attendant for Air New Zealand was fired for sitting down on the job.

The airline felt Wulff could not be “relied on to follow safety procedures.” You see, Wulff sat down during turbulence.

As vice-president of flight attendant union FARSA in March 2008, he issued a statement that urged flight attendants to “take the precaution of sitting down when a plane’s seatbelt light was showing.” So he sat down over Vancouver in April 2008 during turbulence and got fired.
