A China Eastern Airlines flight attendant has lost her job after her boyfriend proposed to her mid-flight.
In a clip shared by Pear Video, a male passenger on a flight from Xi An to Yinchuan is shown successfully proposing to his girlfriend – the stewardess - while on one knee.
AsiaOne reported the flight attendant used the inflight announcement system to tell passengers, "I really didn't know my boyfriend will be proposing to me on this flight, thanks for being my witnesses."
Many of the passengers were touched by the proposal, but not, apparently, China Eastern.
According to a Liaoning TV report on September 10, the company fired the flight attendant on grounds that she had neglected passenger safety.
The company stated that the mid-flight proposal had caused a disturbance and was an irresponsible act that jeopardised the security of passengers.
Several Chinese netizens condemned the airline’s move as "heartless".
We’d have to agree.
