United Airlines replaced a pilot before takeoff on Saturday after she boarded in civilian clothes and told passengers over the intercom that both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were liars and that she was getting a divorce, witnesses said.
The airline on Sunday declined to identify the pilot or comment beyond a previous statement apologizing to customers, many of whom left the plane out of concern for their safety.
The flight from Austin, Texas, to San Francisco took off with a new pilot about 90 minutes late, passengers said.
"She shows up dressed like a civilian and asked us to take a vote to see whether we should have her change into her uniform or fly as is," passenger Pam O'Neal told KPIX television upon landing in San Francisco.

Well, DUH. Being a natural-born liar is a prerequisite for holding public office.
Probably has the title “naval aviator” in her background somewhere.

That is ‘close enough’
I was going to ask if she will play her ‘McCain’ card
An airline pilot is not in the armed services or police, so she is a civilian.

Should have used mufti..... <: <: <:
Where in the H*ll do these people come from? One can only ask why are people so nice that they fail to remove her teeth with their fists? Consistent teeth removal by the public would soon stop these clowns. Any attack upon one of us is an attack upon all. (many of those people on that plane belong to us.)
I’d call it more like a career killing move. A female pilot with a bad temper who can’t control her emotions and appears to be mentally unstable with a large number of passengers sounds like instant termination to me. She could go Amtrak on them and ram the aircraft straight into the ground and kill them all if the co-pilot went to the bathroom and she locked the door and put it into a dive. No lefties should drive planes or trains. Too mental for the job and you never know when they’re going to snap.
her testosterone levels higher than most men of her age...
I’m not sure I get the reference. Fill me in please.
Someone hit the bar hard before “grabbing the mic.”
It usually isn’t pretty.
You know, homos began using the term, 'partner', to denote their significant others, but the left has now extended the use of that word to describe heterosexual husbands and wives, as well.
It's a subtle, insidious effort on their part, to redefine and restructure the most basic building block of human society. Really despicable.
What am embarrassment to a well-established airline! No doubt the execs are working 24/7 on damage control.
Look for some major league discounted fares over the next couple of months.
Maybe I can take that Australian vacation now.

Are you also one of those that say women shouldn't drive?
I wonder if she’s ever seen a grown man naked.
Why jump to that conclusion? I know female pilots mated to men...happily
Was this a suicide flight in the making, or just Jack Daniels speaking from the bottle?
Day drinkin. ::)
A serious WTF moment when life for pilots is looking up for the first time in 15 years.
Her behavior sounded pretty feminazi to me. Quacked like a duck, flies like a duck, walked like a duck, etc...
