NOT YOUR USUAL IN FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT

Posted on 02/01/2016 | About Minneapolis, Minnesota

A Delta Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Minneapolis last week was forced to make an unscheduled landing after two female flight attendants had a fist fight in the cabin. Apparently the two had a disagreement over "work issues," eventually leading to a punches being thrown at 37,000 feet.

A third staff member who tried to break it up, ended up getting punched herself, at which point she reported the incident to the captain. The captain told passengers he was diverting the plane to Salt Lake City as he "wanted to hear from his flight attendants," the Aviation Herald reported. Passengers were forced to sit on board the plane for 80 minutes before continuing their flight once again – without the quarrelling staff members. The airline later sent a letter of apology to passengers on the flight saying, "Some of our team members did not display their best behavior. "We expect our flight crew to be nothing but courteous and professional at all times and what you experienced was far from that." No kidding! It’s not the first time airline staff have ended up having an in-flight fight. In September 2012, Flyers Pulse reported that two United Airlines flight attendants argued within view of passengers about a shared jump seat. Only thirty minutes into the journey, the captain turned the plane around, and the flight attendants were removed before the plane set off once again. The same month two American Airlines had to be replaced for having "an altercation" over a mobile phone.
