An American Airlines flight that was delayed a mere hour and half ended up never leaving the ground because passengers started booing the late flight crew and started acting hostile towards them. The crew, citing a ‘hostile work environment’, refused to work the flight. American ended up canceling the flight, and in the ultimate bit of irony, when the flight left the next morning and arrived at LGA, the bags were sent to JFK. Given it was a Florida based flight, delays are almost inevitable this time of year and the passengers were being unreasonable.
See the story and video here.
