Pax accuses Delta Pilot
Didn't see this one anywhere else on the Board
Link to entire Story:
Woman Kicked Off Flight After Accusing Pilot of Drinking | NBC Los Angeles
For what it's worth, I've read on another site that the accuser would not stop yapping in the cabin leading to her eventual removal.
....And for the love of God, if you value your sanity, don't start reading the "Comments" section. Steam will be coming out every orifice of your body within a few minutes.
A Southern California woman is kicked off a Delta Airlines flight after reporting that she smelled alcohol on the pilot's breath
A Toluca Lake woman was recently kicked off a Delta Airlines flight after reporting that she thought she had smelled alcohol on the captain's breath.
Cynthia Angel said the incident occurred on July 19 as she was trying to travel home to Southern California from Georgia. She had just spent two weeks visiting her son, an actor, who was shooting a movie near Atlanta

The problem with our passengers today is that they think they are entitled to be involved in the process. She thought it was up to "her" to make sure the flight departed safely. Screw the rest of the professional crew. Passengers today don't trust us. Everyone just thinks they are smarter then everyone else.
Some days I really hate what this industry has become. I hate to say it but back 30 or 40 years ago the captain probably "was" drunk and no one would have cared in the least bit.
I feel like getting drunk after reading that crap.

I saw this story on TV tonight. She definitely looks like she is wanting to shake down Delta for a few dollars. I see she has already hired an attorney, imagine that. Unfortunately, she'll probably take Delta to the cleaners.
I would have kicked her off as well. It's hard to concentrate on your job when you have people like her on board.

This happened to a buddy of mine some time back. He didn't kick the guy off. He simply made a PA as to why the flight was going to be delayed because of the accusation voiced by the gentleman in seat 16C. The crew got off to do the breath test. When they returned, the passenger got off "voluntarily." Apparently the other passengers let him know he wasn't welcome - loudly.

"The manager wanted to hear what I had told the flight attendant," said Angel. "He then told me the captain took a test that proved he did not have anything to drink."
