frontier airlines chicago flight diversion leads to passengers forming a support group, calling it 'The Mile-High Therapy Club'
CHICAGO, IL — In what can only be described as the most aggressively passive-aggressive delay in aviation history, a Frontier Airlines flight from Denver to Chicago was diverted to Milwaukee after a passenger allegedly refused to stop making direct eye contact with a flight attendant. The suspect, armed with nothing more than an unopened bag of pretzels and a reusable water bottle, reportedly mumbled, "I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid" as the plane touched down at General Mitchell International Airport. Passengers, now stranded for eight hours, have taken to calling themselves "The Rejected Chicagoans," and have formed a makeshift support group in the terminal, sharing stories of missed connections and overpriced airport smoothies. Frontier Airlines released a statement saying, "We regret any inconvenience and are looking into why our planes keep finding excuses to see other airports." The flight eventually continued to Chicago, but the support group is now studying Milwaukee's public transit system and considering a permanent move.
