Passengers Fight on a Plane – Whatever Happened to Civility?

November 18, 2009 | Posted in: Delays,Delta,Passengers

Passenger fights are rare, true – but there are too many for me.

This latest incident of incivility was reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: two women aboard a Delta flight ready to head from Atlanta to Tampa complained about two men seated behind them; allegedly, the men were hitting the women’s seats.

A “verbal altercation” ensued, and – according to an unverified report – one of the women told one of the men that she planned to use a knife on him.

Oh, my. Next thing you know, a whole bunch of passengers are vigorously ringing their “call” buttons – and the moving plane went back to the gate where the two women were removed (though one was allowed to rebook onto a later flight).

Meanwhile, the “civil” passengers paid the price — with a 1 hour, 13 minute delay.
