JetBlue Left Passengers Stuck On Plane After Midnight

Truthfully, a person of the most irritating parts of flying is deplaning. You commit several hours in a cramped steel tube hurtling by way of the sky at above 500 mph just to wait in your seat when you land at your place. Then, really do not get me started on the gradual shuffle to the doorway as passengers seated in advance of you get their points out of the overhead bins. Lately, JetBlue travellers went as a result of anything I’d think about a particular hell.

On Monday evening, JetBlue Flight 676 departed JFK Airport in New York and arrived at Worcester Regional Airport in Massachusetts soon after midnight. The short flight landed at 12:15 am but did not basically park at the gate until finally 1:00 am. Why did the travellers have to wait 45 minutes to get off the airplane? No JetBlue employee was on the jet bridge to hook up the aircraft with the airport gate.

Passenger Sabrina Ruelle told WCVB in Boston:

“It was silence, then the pilot mentioned, ‘I have a thing embarrassing to notify you guys — there is no one to get you off the flight.’ They had no staff members offered to get us off the airplane. The point out police were being there and they had been likely to have to evacuate us, but then they received a maintain of a JetBlue supervisor and had to have him generate from his property to the airport to let us off the airplane.”

JetBlue sympathized with their customers’ frustrations and promised to be certain that this does not happen once more. The airline also stated it is investigating the incident with its partner that operates the ground crew in Worcester. I wouldn’t be shocked if this was all prompted by workers shortage. Airways have been dealing with staff shortages for the entirety of the pandemic, which sparked mass delays and cancellations under the slightest volume of pressure.
