Food Delay Brings Down Pilot

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) - Northwest Airlines said Monday it fired a pilot who delayed a flight for more than an hour because
he didn't like the meal he was served on the plane and took a cab to get food.

Passengers on the Nov. 23 flight from Las Vegas to Detroit complained that the pilot kept them waiting while he fetched a
different meal before the plane took off.

''He got off the plane, he walked by a number of food establishments that were open and serving, he got into a cab and went
off-site,'' Northwest spokesman Jon Austin said Monday.

The Eagan, Minn.-based airline fired the pilot Friday for acting ''to the detriment of Northwest and his fellow employees,''
Austin said.

The captain, whom the airline didn't identify, had worked for the airline for 22 years.
