Why? I mean, just, why? Fancied a kip and woke up when the plane was boarding? Looking for loose change? Just as pissed as the passengers? Free flight, no spare seats? We never really find out

Southwest Airlines said in a statement: "Southwest employees are known for demonstrating their sense of humour and unique personalities.
"In this instance, one of our flight attendants attempted to have a brief moment of fun with customers during boarding.
"Of course, this is not our normal procedure, and Southwest crews always maintain Safety as their top priority."

We also never find out why this is news. Oh well. Bit of a larf. I suppose it takes all sorts :-)
