Passengers fled a United Airlines flight set to go from Austin, Texas to San Francisco Saturday after the pilot, an unidentified woman, came out of the cockpit and ranted about Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and her divorce proceedings. Then she began to cry. The video below shows part of the incident. Passenger Randy Reiss wrote on Twitter that the pilot, dressed in a ball cap and casual shirt, remarked on her appearance after she boarded the flight at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in the late afternoon, “Then she says ‘sorry, I’m going through [a] divorce,’” Reiss wrote. “Ummmm uh oh.” Reiss told BuzzFeed that other passengers even sympathized with her at first. The sympathy quickly changed to dread as her speech veered from her personal life into a string of non sequiturs, at which point the mood aboard the plane turned from cozy to uncomfortable, to worse. “She’s like ‘I don’t care if you voted for Trump or Clinton. They’re both [expletive],” Reiss wrote. He started shaking, he wrote, after the pilot said she was about to take off. “So I’ll stop and we’ll fly the airplane,” she says in another passenger’s video. “Don’t worry. I’m going to let my co-pilot fly it. He’s a man.”
