Delta Delivers Pizza, but No Beer
A Delta employee ordered 60 pizzas for delayed passengers on an Atlanta-bound flight from Tennessee after the plane was stranded on the tarmac for three hours on Monday.
Delta reportedly worked with TSA to clear the delivery through security and the pizzas were delivered to the plane by a police car that had its lights flashing, reports the Chronicle.
One passenger said she and her fellow passengers were pretty excited to see the Pizza Hut pizza.
"Everyone appeared happy after the pizza feed -- "but they just wouldn't serve us beer," said Vazmina. "And yes we asked a bunch of times."

Maybe the first airline to get publicity, but not the first airline to feed the masses in the back while stuck on the ground. But good job folks.

First time I or many of the people I know have heard of something like this. Thats certainly thinking "out of the box" (pun intended). Although, not sure why they didn't open up the booze cart.

I'm not sure that adding unlimited free booze into the mix of cranky, ticked off, delayed passengers trapped in a metal tube for an undetermined period of time is the smartest thing to do. Alcohol has the strange ability to make happy people happier and angry people angrier.
