Flight Canceled After Pilot’s Foul Language

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Northwest Airlines canceled a flight set to leave from Las Vegas to Detroit after the captain cursed on a cell phone in a bathroom, then swore at one of the 180 passengers on the plane, officials said on Saturday.

“He used what was described to me as rude language,” Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the
Federal Aviation Administration, said about Friday’s incident on Northwest Flight 1190.
