Delta Crew Shields Trainee From Alleged Pilot Stalker On Toronto-Atlanta Flight: Audio of Flight Deck Communication

A former Delta pilot was reportedly stalking a woman headed to pilot training in Atlanta. They were traveling on board Delta flight 2835, and she was concerned enough for her safety that the flight’s captain reported this to dispatch during the trip, and was requesting assistance and an escort for the woman who was going to stay on board initially during deplaning.

The man is apparently now a Fedex pilot, and has been harassing the woman “since September.” Dispatch was asked to arrange a red coat to meet the flight, and the situation wasn’t deemed to require security to apprehend the man. Nonetheless, it appears he was following her from Toronto to Atlanta and as a former Delta pilot knows the airline’s protocols and locations for training.

  1. Relationship (or affair) that was ended you think? Sure it is speculation but there has to be more to this story than a former DL (and now FedEx) pilot suddenly starting bothering a female DL pilot in September. hmmmm

  2. @christian Where does it say he was fired? FedEx would most definitely not have hired a pilot fired from delta.

  3. It’s great to get two fifths of five eighths of the story from one party and then “discuss”.

  4. Respondant Chris sounds like a butthurt mannbaby rejected by women who won’t put up with his toxic attitude.

  5. @PHLPhlyer. – Even Delta doesn’t want the liability of creepy stalkers as pilots. You may be right though about him being offered to resign rather than be fired for being a predator.

  6. It must suck to be a highly educated and possibly combat trained bus driver. It would be even worse to be a flying delivery truck driver

  7. Wow CHRIS! I thought I heard a very professional pilot deal with a situation in very thoughtful manner. If I’m allowed to speculate, the pilot sounds like a woman. But, she doesn’t sound angry, just properly concerned. And, I can’t imagine how one can speculate on serial orientation from this. There are guys that think any woman not wanting them must be a lesbian. Low and behold, every woman turns out to be a lesbian.
