Two flight attendants reportedly got into a fist fight on a recent Delta fight.
The skies weren’t so friendly on a recent Delta Air Lines flight. After two female flight attendants got into a fist fight on flight 2598 traveling from Los Angeles to Minneapolis, the captain decided to make an unscheduled landing in Salt Lake City.
According to the Aviation Herald, the flight attendants had a disagreement over work issues on the flight. A third woman on the plane tried to break up the fight and was also hit by the brawling flight attendants. At that point, the captain made the decision to land the Boeing 757. The plane was flying just south of Salt Lake City when the fight broke out.

The Aviation Herald reports that the airline sent a letter of apology to passengers that stated, in part: “Some of our team members did not display their best behavior. We expect our flight crew to be nothing but courteous and professional at all times and what you experienced was far from that. I am sorry we didn’t deliver on our brand promise for you today.â€
There have been many recent examples of passenger air rage, but not as many with flight attendants. In Sept. 2012, two United Airlines flight attendants sharing a jump seat got in a fight, while that same month, two American Airlines flight attendants battled it out over a mobile phone. And in 2010, JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater made headlines when he announced that he was quitting his job over the plane’s PA system, then slid down the evacuation slide.
Yahoo Travel reached out to Delta for comment, but hadn’t heard back at press time.

But, especially towards the end of that stint in my life, I thought that most of the flight attendants were effeminate men. I wonder what attracts them to that career? Maybe the concept of travel...
I like Cruz!
No way! Trump!
Fighting Stewardesses On A Plane
Is this a new movie or a remake?
Cat fight!
“Call me whatever but I gotta believe at least one of ‘em, most likely both, are black. Sorry. So many are so dysfunctional. Obama certainly hasn’t helped.”
Initially I thought of the same thing. I held back saying it, for obvious PC reasons.
Too bad we will not find out, again for PC reasons.
Sadly, to get that now, you need to fly on an Asian airline. Singapore Air, or one of the Chinese airlines comes to mind.
Lord help us to love our fellow man while delivering us from PC. Amen.
Who said air travel was boring?
A lot of these flights to minor destinations are connector airlines, so while the flight attendants work for Delta, they’re not exactly in the first line and often are not delta trained. Black or white, some of them are pretty unprofessional.
Me too!
How are we supposed to know which one is guilty of starting the fight without pictures to judge the contestants?
I agree, and I am an old broad myself. The older I get, the less patience I seem to have. Can’t imagine how some of these older women do it on these flights. Delta has improved a lot over the last few years, but there were some hugely rough patches especially if you flew out of Atlanta. The Union helps save those who should have long departed.
At least it wasn’t passengers getting beat up!
“Singapore Air, or one of the Chinese airlines comes to mind.”
Singapore used to be the premier airline years ago. I do not know if they have changed over the years.
On one flight from San Fran to Taiwan the beautiful stewardess said, “We have a filet mignon dinner or a lobster dinner. Which would you like?” I answered, “Yes”, kind of as a joke.
She brought the filet mignon dinner. When I finished it she then brought to me the lobster dinner! ;-)
