Two louts abused airline staff who refused to let them on to a plane because they were too drunk.
Glynn Martin and Jason McKiver, had both been drinking spirits in the lounge at Manchester Airport prior to a flight to Tenerife, on October 15 last year. As they made their way to board an EasyJet plane, airline staff watched them "stumble down the air bridge" and noted that they could "barely stand up", Bolton Magistrate's Court heard.
Prosecuting, Jane Deakin told the court that they were met at the door of the plane by captain David Etchells and cabin crew member Jemma Grieves. After being told that they weren't fit to fly, they insisted that they would just go to sleep in their seat.
