Alaska Airlines flight 1080 from Washington Dulles to San Francisco suffered a delay on Monday after the plane’s pilot and co-pilot got into an argument – and the captain walked off the aircraft. The Captain actually announced to passengers that he wasn’t getting along with his co-worker.

The flight was delayed for a couple of hours as the airline looked for a new pilot for the A320. When the replacement pilot arrived, he received a standing applause. The flight was delayed by 3 hours but made up half an hour in the air.
The captain was right to leave because of the crew's insubordinate behavior. The decision was made in the interest of safety, he said. He should leave the plane if he couldn't operate it safely because of his temper. The passenger said the pilot wasfuming.
You can paddle your own kanoo.
A passenger on a Frontier Airlines flight took photos of a flight attendant's legs and other body parts while sitting next to a pilot, but hid their camera in order to avoid being seen. He's been caught.

The pilots union is in talks with American. The company is offering a raise by the end of the year. The president of the union said they knew their members would get paid.

Two years ago American had to apologize to its pilots over a photo of pilots mixing cocktails in its inflight magazine - the image of pilot drinking is that serious, even without getting into issues of stealing the bottle from the plane.
