Plainclothes Pilot Delivers Disturbing Rant On United Airlines Plane
LatestOn Saturday, passengers boarded United flight 455 in Austin, Texas and, as is custom, seated themselves and awaited departure to San Francisco, California. But banal events took a turn for the unsettling: a pilot in plainclothes appeared, took hold of an intercom, and delivered a troubling rant.
UA spokesperson Charlie Hobart tells CNN that the pilot—unnamed—boarded the plane out of uniform and proceeded to address the passengers. As she spoke, she mentioned her divorce, the presidential election, and various other issues. In the process, she referred to both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as “assholes.” Accounts suggest that she was scheduled to fly the plane, or at least believed she was.
