A woman on board Delta flight 2178 from Newark to Atlanta confronted a flight attendant who refused to help an older Black woman who was struggling to put her carry on bag in an overhead bin. The crewmember refused to help, saying it isn’t her job.
To the passenger, that’s precisely her job. The flight attendant responded by saying the passenger was harassing her, and had the captain remove her from the aircraft. She was embarrassed and inconvenienced for stepping into what she saw as both poor service and discrimination.
Over the summer I covered the man who cooked baby back ribs in a hotel bathroom. He’s now taken his talents to the sky, cooking up a snack of garlic shrimp and mash – in a Delta Air Lines lavatory.

Passengers were escorted through a restricted part of the airport, typically off-limits to passengers, by Delta employees and TSA staff. After passing through Customs and checking their luggage, the passengers encountered the first issue.
The group was mistakenly taken to the wrong airplane three separate times, being transported by bus to different planes. When they eventually boarded the correct plane, they encountered another problem.
A year ago I wrote that, while it wasn’t public at the time, Delta was looking to buy Airbus A350 widebody aircraft. It seemed like a deal could be announced soon, but crickets.

He was wearing a Republican Party pin on his lapel.
A Delta Air Lines flight attendant pounded five cans of wine, began vaping, and sexually assaulted a passenger while traveling as a nonrev on the Atlanta-based carrier, according to a new lawsuit.
The off duty crewmember kissed the woman and touched her up against her will, as working crew continued to ply their colleague with alcohol as she became visibly more and more intoxicated.
Early this month a public library in Shawnee, Kansas received a strange letter. One of their books was returned in the mail – but it didn’t come from the reader who borrowed it. A Delta Air Lines captain found Whatever After: If the Shoe Fits on the Atlanta airport’s B concourse while commuting to their home in Florida.
