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.

now another worry..... a plane going stewardess
The two hottest girls in my 1960s high school class both became Delta Stewardesses.
That was back when they were typically really pretty. They were also very nice. A different world.
At least it wasn’t the pilots.
Well, perhaps they have been waiting for an opportunity to go in a different career direction. I think the time has arrived for both of them
I am sure this fight looked nothing like it does in my imagination..... Stewardesses ain’t what they used to be that’s for sure.
Just sayin'....
“it’s de plane, boss!”
No names or descriptions of the combat girls. BT 1000s perhaps?
One of them was at our 50th high school reunion. She is a widow now but I was surprised how good she looked for a woman pushing 70.
It made me realize just how attractive she had been when an 18 year old.
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.
That’s the first thing I thought of too.
.
After their stay in the pokie that is.
Cat fight!
It may be hard for some to actually believe it, but long, long ago, in a country far different than today, the Delta flight attendants union actually bought the airline a new plane
