Delta Flight Attendant’s $70,000 Slide Blunder Leaves Passengers Stranded
A Delta flight at Pittsburgh was delayed nearly four hours Saturday after a lead flight attendant accidentally deployed the emergency slide, trapping passengers on board. The Airbus A220’s slide inflated against the boarding bridge and had to be removed. The incident is expected to cost Delta over $100,000. Many travelers missed connections and spent the night in Salt Lake City.
