A woman was allegedly caught on a Delta Airlines flight breastfeeding her cat, and refused to stop after being called out, Newsweek Reports.
Reports say the incident happened during a flight from Syracuse to Atlanta. There’s a picture going viral which describes the event, including a screenshot of a message sent using the Air Communications Addressing and Reporting System. Pilots typically use the text-based system to send messages to the ground.
The message shows that a passenger was seated in 13a “breastfeeding a cat and will not put cat back in carrier." Another message shows that the situation will be addressed by the airline’s “Red Coat Team” once the plane lands.
Delta Airlines says that the “Red Coat Team” is an “elite airport customer service experts" that are "specially trained to handle on-the-stop customer issues."
Delta allows pets on flights, but animals must remain inside a kennel with the door closed during boarding and deplaning.
