Flight delayed four hours due to Flight Attendants feud over cell phone use.

An argument between two American Airlines flight attendants forced pilots to return the plane to the gate at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport, causing a four-hour delay on Wednesday.

Flight 3823 operated under the commuter brand American Eagle was scheduled to depart at 3:10pm en route to Washington DC, but as the jet was preparing for take-off, a squabble broke out between two unnamed female flight attendants, according to passengers.

The dispute apparently started when one of the women was spotted using her cell phone during the flight crew's per-departure checks.

The other woman made an announcement over the intercom ordering everyone about the jet to turn off their phones and electronic devices, 'including the other flight attendant.'
