From the New York Post:
The witness told Page Six that attendants on Wednesday's 6:30 p.m. Delta Shuttle flight out of Washington, D.C., had already closed the door and passengers were buckled in, when the soon-to-be CBS News anchor raced up the aisle with a cellphone to her ear and told an attendant she had to speak to the pilot right away. Couric was then allowed into the cockpit and convinced the pilot to delay the flight and reopen the door for her producer, Nicola Hewitt."One flight attendant rolled her eyes and told me, 'This is only the second time I've ever seen this happen - the other time was a sick passenger,' " the witness said.
Big shocker. The rich and famous get special treatment. What else is new?
Just one more reason I need to get a TV show as of yesterday.

That's disgusting!!! I probably won't be able to sleep tonight knowing this. That pilot sure must be star struck.
