Aviation Story Blog #3 - Kara Bobka


Ever been displeased with the food that was to be served at a function or in a hospital?  For those of you who are nursing or education majors, I am sure you can relate!  However, I bet you never thought about leaving the facility to go get something more appetizing, especially without permission!

A pilot of Northwest Airlines, on the other hand, did just that.  He did not like the food he received on the flight; so, he decided to go find something more satisfying.  Not only did he leave his plane that he had to fly, but he also left the airport to find better food!  This left the passengers waiting 90 minutes for his return, and thereby, for their departure.  Needless to say, the pilot was fired on the spot since he “abandoned his plane.”  I guess he should have used that displeasing "food" at least "for some thought" before he acted!
