Phone Call Delays Flight To Houston
AirTran Flight Delayed 2 1/2 Hours

POSTED: Wednesday, November 18, 2009

ATLANTA -- AirTran Airways says a flight from Atlanta to Houston with more than 70 passengers on board was delayed when a passenger refused to end a cell phone call.

AirTran spokesman Christopher White told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Flight 297, a Boeing 717, was taxiing on the runway in Atlanta Tuesday afternoon when a crew member asked a passenger to turn off his phone.

White says that after several failed attempts by the crew member to end the conversation, the captain returned the plane to the gate.

White says the passenger complied when he was asked to get off the plane. He says no charges were filed, and that the plane departed for Houston 2 1/2 hours later.

"CrackerOfTheWhip 15 minutes ago
I was on a flight like this from Orlando once; stupid woman actually threatened the flight attendant while we were taxing down the taxiway, they turned the plane around and the FBI dragged her stupid butt off the plane. Amazing how stupid some people are."

I wonder how much trouble (if any) another passenger would get in for taking his phone and crushing it?

They should definitely charge him.

Or pay each of the passengers their hourly wage for the 2.5 hours they had to wait. That would smarten this idiot up.

What the hell?? How does this take THAT long? How does someone NOT get involved?

That's BS and people like that deserve a smack down. That would get old really quick.

I would have peed on him, or rubbed my dick on his arm. Inconsiderate prick.

Sheesh! People and their phone calls.

I was waiting in line in a washroom in Macy's on the weekend. Heard a phone ring. No one in line is trying to answer their phone. Then hear the "hello' from the stall. I said "you have GOt to be kidding me". So while there was a huge line up of people waiting.....this woman had a casual conversation....in the bathroom stall! I'm no germophobe but shnikeys!

Somewhat related, I had a lady cut me off because she was on her phone. When I can to the next light, she happened to be behind me. I also happen to have a loud exhaust.

Well, I banged the bike off of the limiter while staring at her until she got frustrated and hung up.

You wanna play inconsiderate? I guarantee you, I will always win.
