Employees will do anything to get out of work.
Take Eder Rojas, a flight attendant from Minnesota, for example. He’s been charged with setting a fire in an airplane bathroom.
Federal authorities are seeking Rojas after he failed to show up for his federal court trial.
Rojas was a flight attendant on a May 7 Compass Airlines flight from Minneapolis to Regina, Saskatchewan. The plane had to make an emergency landing in Fargo, ND, because of a paper towel fire in the restroom. No one was injured on the flight that carried 72 passengers and four crew members.
The federal complaint against Rojas says he was upset with the airline for making him work the route.
Rojas faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He may also be ordered to pay restitution for the damage to the plane.
