Video of an employee of an airline who dances with cheerleaders during a delayed flight becomes viral

Most late-flight announcements cause frustrated moans and sighs from passengers. But for a Spirit Airlines flight at Myrtle Beach International Airport in South Carolina, the delay resulted in an impromptu online dance party so alive that an airline employee could not help but participate in the event. Party. The entire scene – featuring a large group of cheerleaders – was captured on video and became viral.

Several members of the New Jersey Major's teams and their families were waiting for a delayed flight to return home to Atlantic City after spending the weekend at a competition in Myrtle Beach.

"It did not matter, because the girls were hanging around together, entertaining each other," Kristie Brown, who traveled with her six-year-old daughter, told Yahoo Lifestyle.

However, Spirit quickly announced that what they initially thought to be a short delay would take much longer due to adverse weather conditions. Following this announcement, one of the coaches invited a speaker and the girls started dancing, said Brown, a teacher from Williamstown, New Jersey.

Meanwhile, Robert Dillon, a Spirit Airlines customer service agent, was trying to make weather-related announcements for a flight to Chicago from a doorway opposite. The 26-year-old said it was hard to miss the group of cheerleaders dancing on "The Cupid Shuffle" in the middle of the hallway.

"They just started playing very loud music and people were dancing," Dillon told Yahoo Lifestyle. "I was getting to the point where I could not announce the delay."

Because Dillon also works as a coordinator of activities at a Myrtle Beach resort where he often dances with children by the pool, he knew all the songs and dances that the coaches were playing. And when "Wobble Baby" arrived while he was passing, Dillon could not help but skip and go bankrupt.

"When I jumped into the game, I do not think anyone was expecting it – it's at that point that they started to cheer and get really into it." bath, "says Dillon, adding that the cheerleaders were very excited when he began to" swing "with them. . "People started taking out their phones and recording."

"Robert, the employee, had a good time. I loved how much fun it was and it was nice to see something positive. The girls loved the fact that he intervened, "says Brown. "It was such a beautiful thing and it really made our time fast."

After receiving a radio call, Dillon had to go back to work. "They laughed that I was working and dancing again," he recalls. "Then I thought," I have to go, I have to work again! "

But while Dillon was helping passengers get on their flights, many were thanking him for having a good time despite unexpected delays. Brown was particularly grateful to have shown "our daughters how to have fun and be positive".
