This is alleged to have happened on an AirTrans flight from Atlanta to Houston just after push-back. If true, it is unbelievable. The email from Tedd  Petruna that started this is bouncing all over the Internet.  I received a copy today.

I begin with the caveat that I don’t know whether or not this is true.  However, it certainly sounds like it is, and the guy-Tedd J.
