Delta Air Lines flight 2809 from Minneapolis to San Francisco had to go around and attempt to land a second time due to low visibility in fog, and was delayed about 9 minutes, but was otherwise like any other flight – until it reached the gate.
A passenger onboard reports that 10 law enforcement officers, including Homeland Security Investigations officers, “stormed to the front” of the aircraft as soon as the Boeing 757 arrived and “grabbed/arrested” one of the pilots.
The remaining pilot suggested to those who asked that “he had no idea what just happened.” Unsurprisingly, he wasn’t given a heads up that this was happening because that would have also tipped his colleague in the cockpit with him.
Delta Pilot Watches His Colleague Get Removed From The Aircraft
Here are the officers leaving the aircraft.
A Delta spokesperson declined to comment, deferring to law enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security has not yet responded to an inquiry.
This comes days after a Delta pilot was arrested in Stockholm for failing a breathalyzer test prior to departure, although there are reports that test may have been in error.
No one pulled you back in, 1990. You just love to interject your little nose where no one cares about it.
@MaxPower — As our pal @Mike P likes to say, “I accept your surrender.” @Tim Dunn bested you here. Uh oh.
It’s funny you view a comment section as a winning and losing set up.
Oh no. Whatever will I do that some loser that can’t control his internal thoughts thinks I “lost” a comment section battle on child abuse?
Get a life and grow up. What a pathetically stupid thing to say 1990
Or to put it in terms you understand better
*insert troll comment here*
“bah” “uh” “Yikes” “doh” “Relax guy”
You’ve somehow made this comment section even worse than Tim usually does with your incessant need to reply to EVERYONE
@MaxPower — It’s 2025, kiddo. Everything is zero-sum. It’s not that @Tim Dunn wins here; it’s that you lose. That’s ‘joy’ in these times. Grow up? Wake up! And you forgot to tell me to ‘touch grass’ or whatever. C’mon!
Stupidity reaches a new low with you @1990
I’m glad you support Tim’s “Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone” view of child abuse and molestation. It’s an interesting take on child abuse using scripture. And not one commonly held in courts of law or by most adults that don’t condone Child Abuse.
Do I think Tim Dunn supports child abuse? No and no one said that. That’s stupid but it’s also an incredibly dumb time to quote the Bible like that then go off on the normal “Delta rocks — they aren’t at fault”. Of course delta isn’t at fault, but only an idiot spends his day in the comment section of a child abuse story yelling that and telling others not to judge a child abuser. I will judge the F out of the guy, if convicted.
Have a good one.
@MaxPower — The fish are biting today!
It’s going to be ‘rich’ the next time any person associated with United Airlines does anything wrong in society… However, I suspect @Tim Dunn is an honorable man, and would not stoop to your level. He’s shown that he can compartmentalize what is indeed a shameful incident reflecting poorly on the individual, and not wrongly extend it to an entire group of unrelated people.
We actually all see eye-to-eye on this; I’m just enjoying the ‘rage-bait’ here. If you aren’t having fun anymore, you don’t have to continue. I’ll happily return, though, if Gary allows. It’s his site; he can exile any and all of us, if this doesn’t please him.
I think you’re the only one on the planet that views Tim Dunn as “honorable” vs a crazy delta fanboy, but live your dream.
Apparently, I work for United? That’s really good to know. Seems to be a raging internal debate for Tim Dunn to figure out where I work. One of his latest thoughts was America West… which hasn’t existed in decades…
So we see eye to eye, you just enjoy being a troll to others in your free time?
@MaxPower — Welcome back. I don’t mind where (or even if) you work. Was under the impression that most of us here enjoy aviation, hotels, travel, credit cards, etc. The ideas, questions, debates, and banter on here are often intriguing…
Law enforcement goons running amok fueled by powerful incel desire.
