Talk about in-flight entertainment, you can’t beat what happened January 22 on Delta Flight 2598. About 40 minutes after leaving LA on the way to Minneapolis, two women flight attendants got into an argument over some work issues. The argument escalated into a bare-knuckled boxing match. Another flight attendant tried to break up the fistfight but she got punched for her efforts.

Upon learning of the unscheduled in-flight entertainment, the pilot diverted the Boing 757 to Salt Lake City where the two combatants and the intervening attendant were kicked off the plane. The plane took off about 80 minutes later after replacements for the three were found.

A fistfight over work issues? I don’t think those two flight attendance need worry any more about Delta’s work issues. I am sure by now they have picked up their final paychecks.

Now maybe they can get a job fighting in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) organization as mixed martial arts fighters.
