Seat recline fight diverts another flight - CNN.com

""This woman who was sitting next to me knitting actually just tried reclining her seat back," passenger Aaron Klipin said. "The woman behind her started screaming and swearing and then a flight attendant came over and that just exacerbated what was going on and then she demanded that the flight land."


Yikes. Sounds like the FA made it worse.

How so, dear? Should the FA have ignored the screaming match?

No, I wasn't there. That's why I said "sounds like," as in not a definite fact, just guestimate based on the witness account.

I'd say the idiot that started screaming just because someone reclined their seat was the one that caused 100% of the problems.

Unless I missed it, it doesn't look like DL addresses the issue in pax info section of their magazine.
