US Crew in Trouble Over Mutiny on Norwegian Airplane During Snowstorm


Norwegian aviation authorities are investigating a recent Norwegian Airlines flight from New York to Stockholm after four of nine cabin crew members walked off the job, citing safety concerns amidst a snowstorm.
Swedish and Norwegian media revealed Sunday that several cabin crew members of a Norwegian Airlines flight carrying 196 passengers walked off the job January 26 after a tense verbal conflict between the pilot and several cabin crew members. The crew members had voiced their disagreement with the pilot about the safety of the flight, citing worries that the plane would not be able to take off amid a snowstorm that had engulfed the US East Coast.
Several other flights had been canceled due to the storm, and four to five tons of snow were said to have accumulated on the wings of the plane, Sweden's Expressen.se explained.
