(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...

More examples of the fine craftsmen our schools of journalism are turning out.....on the other hand, what a target-rich environment this story is for seedy double-entendres!

Have you ever been on a flight where you wondered how in the world some of the flight attendants ever got hired?

I like the Southwest Airlines flight attendants the best. They usually seem to enjoy their jobs, although I understand how tiring it can be. In general, they've got the best sense of humor.

The surliest FAs I ever had to deal with were Northwest Airlines. I hated flying that airline.

They should have just pulled the two cats off and put on two more stews.

Except for serving some gawdawful meals - I really don't see what use they are anymore. A whole different way of doing nothing these days and getting paid for it.
