Another Flight Attendant Fight Occurs, This Time on a United Airlines Jet
United Airlines Boeing 737
A fight between two flight attendants broke out on a United Airlines flight to Chicago Wednesday morning forcing the plane to turn around.
United Flight 1214, a Boeing 737-800 with 52 passengers aboard, took off from Raleigh-Durham International Airport at 6 AM and was about 50 miles in to the flight when the altercation took place between the flight attendants.
“One flight attendant had crossed their leg and accidentally brushed the other person, and it was not intentional,” Hamlin said. “It appears there was a disagreement before that, that became elevated.”
The two attendants were removed from the plane and replaced with other employees. The flight continued to Chicago O’Hare after a three-hour delay.
This is the second incident involving flight attendants in a week. On September 20th, an American Eagle plane was delayed for nearly four hours after two flight attendants got in to a verbal altercation at JFK Airport.

Did anyone get pictures ;)
Woah, brush someone on accident and delay a flight for three hours? That part sounds worse than the attendants temper and conduct. An argument happens, get over it or get off the plane. 3 hours not flying is a ton of money wasted and terrible publicity.
At least they had room to brawl. Only filled a quarter to capacity.

i guess the cabin crew is over stressed. give them a break.
Wonderful professionalism. Would it sound self serving if I inserted a jab about how little the airlines pay their employees at this point?
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was “getting” to the crew
This was a Subsidiary Continental plane and crew. Not Legacy United. The Continental crews are paid very well unlike Legacy United crews.
Ok they aren’t paid a lot .But they are not picking strawberries in the heat or on a roof with hot tar in sweltering heat making minimum wage. No excuse for unprofessional behavior on the job period
Thank God the TSA didn’t allow knives to be brought on board yet! It could have been one bloody mess!
Everyone knows Southwest flight attendants are the highest paid in the industry!!! In fact most of their f/a’s make more than captains and first officers from these other airlines. That’s why you find Southwest employees so happy and smiling all the time!!!!
Nice!
