A Delta Airlines pilot and a flight attendant flew off the handle Monday at LaGuardia Airport, causing a two-hour delay, sources said.
The 54-year-old pilot had a dispute with a 26-year-old flight attendant prior to takeoff aboard the plane bound for Portland, Maine, sources said.
He and the attendant exchanged words in the aisle and he called her “a piece of s---,” a source said.
“His conversation was racist, inconsiderate and unprofessional,” the source said.
Each alleged the other had aggressively grabbed the other’s arm.
As many as six Port Authority police officers, some carrying “huge” guns, interviewed flight attendants in the jet bridge, a source said.
Cops determined neither were injured and made no arrests.
But the crew ordered both to disembark, causing the plane to leave at 1:30 p.m. — two hours late.
Delta could not be reached for comment.
If he is white and she is black - then yeah. He is screwed.
Has it come to this?
Airlines are not content to just beat up their passengers, they now beat up their own employees.
This is telling. A race of professional victim flight attendant versus a white pilot. The pilot may have asked the black to do her job and was offended.
