Delta flight attendant kicks off EIGHT passengers after one gives ‘attitude’ about putting phone on airplane mode
The passenger told the staff member she was holding the flight up before take off at Fort Wayne airport in Indiana, USA
ASTONISHING footage shows an air steward kicking eight passengers off a plane for giving her “attitude” after one failed to activate her phone’s flight mode.
The unnamed Delta Airlines attendant was filmed arguing with Robyn Rodgers, a DJ from New York, before the plane took off from Fort Wayne airport in Indiana on June 23.
Other passengers then spoke up for Robyn who claimed she had switched her device off.
The musician can be heard telling the cabin crew member that she was holding up the flight while later claiming the woman stood over her “menacingly”.
In the clip, the staff member said: “I know what I heard. I am not going to argue with you.
“There's no need for arguing. Crew instructions means crew instructions.”
Robyn wrote: “I want to acknowledge because I am painfully aware of the serious and profoundly heartbreaking injustices/events happening in our world and communities, I have grappled with sharing my experience.
“It seems small in the face of those things. But the micro is important and little things that go unchecked spiral.”
A Delta spokesman told the Detroit Free Press that the connecting flight was being operated by SkyWest Airlines.
SkyWest Airlines spokeswoman told WGCL that reps are now looking into the allegations of discrimination aboard the Delta Connection regional flight.
“We are disappointed that our customers had this experience and are working with our partner Delta Connection to follow up directly with the customers involved,” the statement read.
