Cabin crew are supposed to be trained to deal with less able bodied passengers, this is part of your job, you don't get to choose your PAX. All credit to the Captain for declining to offload the unfortunate individual.
Back to the training centre for you, tuismile, and I hope not to meet you on my travels
I don't think you're right there SXB... as far as I'm concerned, when it comes to the wellbeing of other customers, she should have been offloaded. And it's pretty unhygenic to be serving food when you have a customer like this unfortunate lady on board! If anything it would have been doing her a favour offloading her, purely beacuse any passenger that passed her was making disgusted faces, holding there noses etc. And please don't comment like that to me unless you were on the flight which I'm sure you weren't as I did exactly that...I dealt with her and her son thank you very much! I treated her just like any other passenger. So NO GOING BACK to the training center thank you..I'm quite up-to-date with my S.E.P's!!!
