Flight Attendant Fight Stalls Plane To Chicago

(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...

When I started flying back in 1965, people dressed up to go on the airplane. Flight attendents were still stwardesses, young and classy.

I've always felt the average one was extra small.

Looks like I am going to get the blame for this one as usual.

[Dashing Dasher]

I have to buy the EXTRA LARGE ones...

I was in a plane that stalled over the Andes.
It felt like it dropped 10 miles in 1 second.
My first thought was (Please GOD don't let me panic).
My second was (This will be the first time I failed one of my crews).
My third was ( It's hard being helpless).

I would NEVER think about doing something like that.

I hope they at least come in a normal sized wrapper.

[Dashing Dasher]

I think it came with bubble gum.

[Dashing Dasher]

Is that a good think or a bad thing?

[U S Army EOD]

Well I will admit among other things I used to have this thing called "Call of the Wild" game caller. It was a portable record player that was 4 speed. (78/45/33/16)

You had crow calls and squealing rabbits for fox. These were one 45 rpms. One day I got bored and started screwing with the speeds. On 16 instead of the squeak squeak of the rabbit, you got a long drawn out scream that sounded like something from East Hell or worse. It un-nerved me so bad I had to pack up and leave just in case something answered it. Even though I knew what it was.

I told my cousin about it and down we went to Eligah Clark State Park with all the campers, got up in the woods, and turned it on. There were grown men running over little kids, coming out of their tents, jumping in their cars, rolling up the window, and locking the doors.

They never caught us. I've done worse things but I won't tell about them.

If you're in a plane that's stalling over the Andes, you better start watching your back.

I seem to recall another aviation mishap over the Andes in the 1970s...

[Dashing Dasher]

You are a good man!

That why you want Michael Moore on the plane. Last the whole winter if you don't mind cleaning him.

[Artemis Webb]

I mind. :)

Hope your cold gets better. hehe!

I was on a Delta commuter flight from Dallas to Shreveport a few years ago and got to talking to the only flight attendant. Turns out she was active duty Air Force, stationed at Barksdale. She worked the Shreveport-Dallas hop on weekends.

[SJSAMPLE]

As if a plane with Michael Moore on board is going to clear the Andes ...

[U S Army EOD]

That crossed my mind right after I made the post.

Come fly the pissed-off skies.
