If the pilots intervened, but the article doesn’t say they did. Who knows what ops would have done if the pilots tried to take charge.

Middle front line managers at Delta are 100% yes men and would do pretty much anything to make their little feifdom look perfect...to include asking to keep the main door closed and sneak mx in another door to keep the crew from timing out.

From the article: “HuffPost could not locate any crew members who worked the flight. The source who provided the messages is not a Delta employee.”
Sounds like an unproven allegation by outsiders with an axe to grind.
