Airport bosses did not like the video

While talking to a local media outlet, one of the men from the video, Tommy Chan said that they were done with work and had 30 minutes left for their shift to get over, adding that it was then they decided to make a video. Dannon Kredo also added that they had finished and that is why they decided to make the TikTok video. Kredo further added that they head from their bosses that their video had garnered a lot of hits and that is something they did not like.

Dannon Kredo said he was not confused that why was recording a video such a bad thing because they were promoting the company.

In a statement, Fresno Yosemite International said that the viral video was filmed during work hours and was unauthorised. The statement further read that the behaviour is a direct reflection of poor judgement by the people in question and that does not showcase the professional conduct expected out of employees working at FAT.
