(CBS) A flight attendant fight Tuesday stalled a Chicago-bound plane for hours.

The flight was supposed to leave Memphis just after 2 p.m., but as Suzanne Le Mignot reports, a feud between employees forced the pilot to take drastic action before heading to Chicago.

“It seemed like a lot of fuss over nothing,” said Chip Romine, talking about the argument two Mesaba flight attendants had over his bag. “We were trying to put my bag in the overhead, and it was too big. One young lady came up and was trying to help me get it up, and the other lady came up and grabbed it and said, ‘I’ll take care of that.’”

Then the two flight attendants started to quarrel some more...

"Stall and aircraft should not be used about an argument on the ground."

Strict policy: headline writers don't write the stories.
I don't think they are allowed to even read them.

[Diddle E. Squat]

"Taste great!"

"Less filling!"

"Arrrggghhh!!!"

[U S Army EOD]

You mean in his little bag?

[Larry Lucido]

Come on, knock off the double entendres! The pilot was just trying to get a little peace.

MUST...

RESIST...

TEMPTATION!!!

Should we start a pool on how long this one stays on?

Rak,

Not to excuse the behavior but less than a month ago Mesaba declared bankruptcy. Both these ladies may be dealing with drastic career changes soon and therefore a bit testy.

I've seen what happens when a company goes bankrupt. Life can become a real pressure cooker for the employees left behind.

By the way Mesaba was shafted royally by NWA when NWA refused to make two multi million dollar payments for services from Mesaba. Mesaba carries passengers for NWA and were ruined when NWA refused to pay them.

I know you're trying to be serious, but after all these puns that did you have to go and suggest that the flight attendants were feeling "testy"?

[Fruitbat]

A spokesperson for Mesaba says the company is looking into the incident and will determine what action will be taken against the two flight attendants.

Mud Fight Class.

and getting "shafted"

[Gondring]

"it was too big"

[Nea Wood]

Sounds like by Dad

Hope your cold gets better.

hehe!

[Labyrinthos]

MEOW!

On the other hand, many of the passengers today are just low class, ill mannered scum. I'm surprised that some of them can walk upright. Actually I know some chimps with better manners.

I agree. As a business man, it makes me sick to sit next to the unwashed, arm-pit-exposed-T-shirt, unshaven pierced, tattood, scum for an excuse for being a human being.

These people are rude, crude, and unrefined; carrying their stooopid back-packs, jump around every five minutes for more of their CDs.

When an old lady is struggling, I always help (I'm 55 years old), and the kids are zoned out on their cell phone games and are in the world on Zombie-Land

Pathetic.

/rant (but accurate)

So the passengers got $35 vouchers on their next flight on this silly airline? Woo-hoo! Although if they got see the catfight, maybe it was worth 2 hours of their time?

I dunno, though. I still think the Panthers story is better than this. Both involved a catfight. This one had the pilot getting a new crew, but the Panthers story had lesbian sex in a stall at Banana Joe's, a fake ID and two NFL cheerleaders arrested.

[Slings and Arrows]

What a bunch of perverts you people are, they were talking about the guys little bag.

Nah, they're just nuts.

[Flightdeck]

agreed

Wow, a two hour stall. Just what altitude did this stall take place and why did it take two hours to recover?

[U S Army EOD]

I sure am glad somebody takes me serious.

[Dashing Dasher]

What a bunch of perverts you people are, they were talking about the guys little bag.
