A Delta Connection flight from Rochester, N.Y., to Atlanta was canceled after an altercation between two flight attendants.

According the news Web site YNN Rochester, the flight was operated by Pinnacle Airlines.

YNN quoted a passenger, Steve Mazur, who said the two female attendants "got into a fistfight on the plane. The pilot decided to kick everyone off the plane.”

“They told us we had to get off the plane because stewardesses were fighting,” another passenger, Corey Minton, told the Web site.

A spokesman for Pinnacle Airlines said the flight attendants will be kept off the job until an investigation is completed.

“The acts described are not acceptable,” said Joe Williams, a spokesman for Memphis-based Pinnacle.

Williams said Delta found alternate travel plans for passengers on the canceled flights.

Probably a “lay over” disagreement...

This should have been settled in wipped-cream filled wrestling ring, where the loser licks the winner clean!

Why is there no video of this fight? There should be a video. Where is the video?

(I hope that wasn’t too indecent or get me banned from FR.)

Obama’s fault

I’m gonna bet that they both voted for Obama. Civilized women wouldn’t dream of fighting. (was mud involved?)

Many of the “attendants” on Delta I've flown with have had many fights......with ugly sticks.

Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

I thought that there was a law against interfering with a crew member. Will both of these people face federal charges and prison time? Anyone else would be in jail now.

[Mengerian]

Wow, you “ratcheted it up” a notch. Nice!

No, but it did kinda make some of us go "Eewww!"

:-)

[SeaHawkFan]

Probably fighting over some pilot’s affections.

Coffee, tea, or best two out of three?
