Passengers Flee United Flight After “Unstable” Pilot Goes Off On Bizarre Trump, Clinton Rant

from ZeroHedge:

Nearly half the passengers reportedly fled a United Airlines flight before it could take off on Saturday evening after a seemingly disturbed pilot went on a bizarre political and personal rant over the intercom.

As passenger Randy Reiss wrote on Twitter, the pilot dressed in a ball cap and casual shirt remarked on her appearance after she boarded the flight at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in the late afternoon, “Then she says ‘sorry, I’m going through [a] divorce,’” Reiss wrote. “Ummmm uh oh.”

She got on in street clothes and asked if we were ok with her flying like that. We all said okay. Cute, right?

Reiss told BuzzFeed that other passengers even sympathized with her at first. The sympathy quickly changed to dread as her speech veered from her personal life into a string of non sequiturs, at which point the mood aboard the San Francisco-bound jet turned from cozy to uncomfortable, to worse.

Then she identified an interracial couple in first class, I think in an effort to say “yay unity” but it was was awkward.

“She’s like ‘I don’t care if you voted for Trump or Clinton. They’re both [expletive],” Reiss wrote. He started shaking, he wrote, after the pilot said she was about to take off.
