SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5/AP) -- A United Airlines pilot was removed from a plane bound for San Francisco International Airport after a bizarre rant about politics and her divorce.It happened Saturday before United Flight 455 left from Austin, Texas.
The pilot got passengers’ attention when she boarded the plane in her street clothes.
"She shows up dressed like a civilian and asks to us to take a vote to see whether she should change into her uniform or fly as is," said Pam O’Neal, who was aboard the flight.
Passenger Randy Reiss tweeted, she "asked if we were ok with her flying like that... then says "sorry I’m going through s(sic) divorce.""
She then used the plane’s overhead PA system to rant about President Trump and Hillary Clinton -- calling them both "a‐holes" and then ranting about her divorce. That’s when passengers began tweeting to United to get a new pilot.
