Flight attendant's onboard meltdown freaks out fliers

6/29/2012

After rain and refueling delays and having to deplane and reboard a flight that was already five hours late, it was understandable that passengers on an American Eagle flight were muttering R-rated words into their seatbacks. Not understandable: a flight attendant grabbing the mic to tell them that if they "[have] the balls" to get off the plane, they should. Jose Serrano's rant -- including a vaguely ominous "this is probably my last flight" -- on the LaGuardia-to-Raleigh-Durham route freaked out some people enough that they took their balls and left. The flight was eventually canceled, and an American Eagle spokesman blamed the "group dynamic" for the situation. Sounds like the real problem was wearing one of the airline's uniforms.
