Flight Delayed For Hour As Crew Members In Shouting Match

London: An easyJet flight from London's Gatwick Airport to Belfast has faced an hourlong delay after two crew members got into an epic shouting match.

Shocked passengers tweeted about the argument that grew so heated that the two crew members had to be removed from Wednesday's flight.

Dan Lobb, a television presenter on the flight, described the scene as "unreal."

This is a first. My @easyJet flight has returned to gate because the cabin crew have had a tiff! 1 crew member being offloaded. Delayed.

He tweeted: "This is quite incredible. We've all worked with people we don't get on with right? But this tiff means a 1 hr flight is delayed!"

Because a couple crew members don't get on, the whole @easyJet flight has been delayed!! Unbelievable.

Loads of kids on this flight, a few babies - what a ridiculous situation. Captain doing his best but everyone is agog! @easyJet

Replacement @easyJet crew are on their way! Ones called Katie Hopkins & the other Piers Morgan. I think they'll get on just fine...

One hour after departure time & 2 new @easyJet crew members are on board! Doors being closed...again. Wonder if @easyJet will respond...?

The low-cost carrier confirmed what it called a "verbal disagreement" and apologized to passengers for the inconvenience.

The company said Thursday that the safety and welfare of easyJet passengers and employees required crew members "to be able to work as a team."
