A FAMILY was dumped off a plane because “jobsworth” cabin crew wouldn’t let a three-month-old baby sit on a kind-hearted passenger’s knee in case
he was abused. When Ann Jordan was told she couldn’t fly because she had the wrong safety seat for daughter Azrael, another passenger offered to look after baby Kaleb so the family could stay onboard. But the captain refused and ordered the family off, citing “child protection laws”. Angry mum-of-two Ann, 35, of Rutherglen Road, Red House, Sunderland, said: “It was insulting, not just to me but to the passenger who wanted to help.” Low budget airline Easy Jet defended its pilot, saying he was complying with policy. It also says the crew was right not to compromise passengers’ safety. Housewife Ann was flying from Bristol to Newcastle, after visiting family in Cardiff. She was marched off the plane in tears as concerned passengers tried to negotiate with staff. Ann said: “He could easily have allowed the baby to sit next to me on the kind lady’s knee where I could keep a close eye, but he was too much of a jobsworth.” Sunderland Echo 13/2/07.
