A Delta flight attendant has been caught on camera in a heated clash with a gate agent from rival airline Southwest.
The male flight attendant had just arrived at Atlanta Airport and was in his uniform when he began accusing the female gate agent of displaying unprofessionalism and being ‘ghetto.’
As the pair walk through the terminal, he says: ‘This is ridiculous. This is the worst airport, and y’all make Southwest look horrible.
‘That customer service is ridiculous.’
As the woman veers away from him and walks toward the gate, the Delta employee follows behind her, rolling his suitcase after her as he adds: ‘It’s ghetto.
‘That’s because it’s Atlanta, y’all have no respect for customer service. Y’all need to clean it up, clean it up because I’m just trying to take a flight.
‘I don’t have to take Southwest, I can take Delta.’

The Southwest gate agent appears to ask the man to lower his tone, prompting him to ramp up his outrage.
‘Get your hands out of my face,’ he shouts. ‘You are nothing. Where’s your name tag at? You ghetto.’
The man went on to claim his colleagues has ‘told me not to come here’ and that he was instructed ‘not to transfer here, because y’all are ridiculous and ghetto.’
‘I don’t do that kind of stuff,’ he added. ‘I don’t have to take Southwest, I can take Delta.
‘Atlanta gotta clean itself up, because this is supposed to be the black mecca, and y’all can’t even carry yourself with class.’
The Southwest employee hit back, accusing him of calling one of her colleagues ‘the B word.’
It is unclear what sparked the altercation.

While commentators sympathized with the man’s negative experience on Southwest, many questioned whether his rant would ultimately cost him his job.
‘I know Delta done clipped those wings,’ one critic wrote on the now-viral footage.
‘Sir, you were doing too much in uniform,’ another added, while a third wrote: ‘ATL does suck with their customer service, he ain’t lying.’
‘”I don’t do that type of stuff…” And yet he carries out this unnecessary confrontation publicly interrupting the peace of the passengers and staff… He was right, though. He just made himself part of the problem with this display.’
Daily Mail has contacted Delta Airlines for comment.
