Chicago-based United Airlines compensated all passengers on a flight Thursday following a “concerning incident” involving an attendant aboard a Trans States Airlines plane, a spokeswoman said.
Twitter user Erika Gorman shared pictures of the airline employee looking disheveled and placing her face within inches of another passenger on flight 4689. The plane was headed from Denver to Williston, North Dakota.
“Thanks @united, for a terrifying flight!” the since-deleted tweet read.
“Boarding announcements were ‘if your seatbelt isn’t tight, you F^*%ed up,'” Gorman said.
She also said she had to go to the cockpit and tell the pilot about the “out of control attendant.” She said police were waiting at the airport when they landed.
Williston police said there was no one authorized available to speak to a reporter on the incident. A person who answered the department’s phone said it sounded like the situation was being “embellished.”
A spokeswoman for United said in an emailed statement that the airline apologized “for any inconvenience or distress this may have caused” and that it compensated the passengers as a “gesture of good will.”
I’m not flying on any airline called Trans State.
Probably had the cockpit removed.
ht/ all too much
Can you blame her, they were going to Noth Dakota ?
Denver to Williston?…..I did Denver to Rapid City and I guarantee you I was drunker then the attendants….four prop puddle jumper in a wind storm….but I did meet a fat girl who had a nice personality….Oh wait, that’s why I went there…..
I hear you earn ‘Frequent Survivor’ points with them.
What a bunch of pussies. That would have been fun.
Cannot understand why United is still flying. Employees and management hate each other with a passion. Employees are not able to mask their disdain for passengers. Employees would rather sabotage their employer than compete with other airlines.
What they do give them a bag of peanuts?
Sounds like a typical trans-whatever attitude.
back in the sixties and 70s’ the railroads had an antagonistic relationship with the unions and it showed in poor passenger service.(notwithstanding the rr’s wanted out of the pass biz). People bailed on trains. Now we have Amtrak. How about Amflight?
