I was on the Delta flight where 24 people fell ill including both pilots… after they served moldy chicken

Cause is moldy chicken, not fish. I thought that the pilot and co-pilot ate different meals to prevent this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your stewardess speaking... We regret any inconvenience the sudden cabin movement might have caused, this is due to periodic air pockets we encountered, there's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight... By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?"

Not Boeing’s fault?

Oh, right. I had the lasagne.

I got food poisoning eating chicken on an American Airlines flight last year. And I had to drive an hour after the flight to get to my destination. It was one of the worst experiences I had in recent memory.

I thought there was a rule that pilots cannot eat the same meal (after Airplane movie lol)

“mmmm...”moldy chicken...”

Hardly! It was an airbus a 330

It’s not easy to get to the point of mold on chicken, but must have caused some very swift reactions..

[ransomnote]

I seem to recall ‘rules’ in place decades ago that required pilots to eat in different restaurants or from different sources to avoid this scenario....

[9YearLurker]

Sorry, just saw the reaction was precautionary, I guess for the pilots.

[chuckee]

Sounds like Boeing cooked the chicken

Another dry run? That food is prepared on the ground not on the plane.

[She said that the flight attendants then 'came around to each row and asked if everyone was feeling good or sick.']

I’ll have the fish............

I’ll have the fish............

I love that movie!

Knew as soon as I saw the title that 90% of the posts would be Airplane references.
