Whew. I can't imagine being on that plane. I'd have been completely freaked out and probably would have had to hit the airport bar for a few hours. Obviously, she was having some sort of breakdown, but one would think that her showing up in civvies would have clued other employees in. Which I guess raises a question which I had never thought about, previously: who makes sure pilots are fit to fly when they arrive at the airport? Anyone?
United Airlines replaced a pilot before takeoff on Saturday after she boarded in civilian clothes and told passengers over the intercom that both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were liars and that she was getting a divorce, witnesses said.
She then mentioned she was going through a divorce, commented on a interracial couple in the first-class section by saying "yay unity," and told Reiss he did not have to fly if he felt uncomfortable, Reiss said.
