'Just banter' | EasyJet cabin manager sacked for in-flight comments loses unfair dismissal claim

An EasyJet cabin manager who told a colleague “I’m just staring at your ass” during a flight has lost his unfair dismissal claim after an employment tribunal ruled his sacking was justified.

Ross Barr, a senior member of the cabin crew, was investigated after a passenger wrote to EasyJet on 2 July 2024 claiming he had “behaved in a consistently misogynistic and inappropriate manner since I boarded the plane”.
