The careers of three flight attendants may not continue taking off after a blonde moment that may turn out too costly.

This is after the trio from Swiss International Airlines were captured on video taking selfies while standing on the wing of an aircraft destined for Zurich.

Started with female attendant

In the video captured by a passenger, the attendants were seen dancing and posing on the wing of a Boeing 777 while waiting for the aircraft to depart from Buenos Aires.

One of the female crew members posed on the wing before waving at a male colleague who joined her by walking through the open emergency exit.

The male attendant went ahead to strike muscle-manlike bodybuilding poses next to the woman, after which a third member joined them.

As the attendants played on the wing, two other members from the ground crew posed for a photo in front of the plane’s engine.

Move is illegal, dangerous

The seemingly lovely moment for the attendants has since gone south as the airline expressed disappointment in the behavior.

According to the New York Post, Swiss spokesman Michael Pelzer explained that what looks like fun in the video is life-threatening.

“The wings of the Boeing 777 are about five meters high. A fall from that height onto the hard surface can be devastating,” he said.

Pelzer added that crew should only stand on a plane’s wings during an emergency, with the airline Vice President Martin Knuchel revealing he was “angry and disappointed.”

From mjengo to cabin crew, Betty Kilonzo's story

In a more positive story, those who knew Betty Kilonzo two years ago remember her found herself as a construction worker who earned minimum wage fixing floor tiles.

The 25-year-old single mother, however, managed to pull herself out of the doldrums to become a flight attendant with a regional airline.

Given her remarkable journey, Betty encourages those with unfulfilled dreams to persist, as things always tend to fall into place when one pushes themselves.
