Pinnacle Airlines cancelled one of their flights recently for a very novel reason, two flight attendants got into a debate that according to some witnesses led to fisticuffs. The spat began just before takeoff.
The pilot ordered the travelers on board the flight to leave the plane just after the two women decided to go at each other. The flight was scheduled to leave Rochester (New York) and arrive in Atlanta (Georgia). One of the passengers stated that the captain made them disembark because the attendants’ arguments came to blows.
A Pinnacle Airlines representative stated that the argument broke out after one of the passengers felt sick. He added that there were no injuries and the brawl was verbal.
Notwithstanding the fact that there was no physical contact, the airhostesses have been suspended from duty while an airline investigation is carried out. Alternative travel plans were made for the people onboard. The acts that were described are not acceptable by the airline’s standards.
Another commuter said that they told everyone that they had to get off the plane, because of the clash. There was no physical contact between the two women despite what others may have said. The fight between the two was completely a verbal disagreement, and this is something that can sometimes happen in the workplace from time to time.
