Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire American Air...stew vs lady holding baby

Great pr there! (And, YES, we do need a sarcasm font!)

about the time the putz shoved his finger in my face he would have regretted coming to work that day. dislocated fingers hurt like a sob.

strollers really should be checked.

that said, that American Airliens employee wanting to fight a passenger should be unemployed by now.

Two words-

Estrogen
Tazer

Strollers "shouldn't be checked". They MUST be checked. She dragged a double stroller onto the plane, then threw a fit when told she could not and that it had to be checked. Nobody could get on the plane with that in the aisle. She didn't cooperate. Jeebus - She wasn't hit, neither was her child - what the hell is she crying and bawling about? Sit your ass down and shut up.

Follow the friggin regulations!

We're lucky our moms didn't have tasers.

You want to cry? I'll give you something to cry about, tzzz tzzzzz!

It is nuts to try to bring a stroller on a plane.
What is the point you can't stroll down the aisle of an airplane with a baby in that stroller. Absurd.

I heard a half dozen accounts of this incident on Sirius radio. All stories began with "The woman was sobbing."
"The woman was in tears."

So what if she was in tears? Good God it is just like when I was in second grade, all a girl has to do is start crying, and the world is supposed to stop turning. Everyone has to stop and attend to the poor crying girl.

Has it ever occurred to people that these girls can turn tears on and off like a spigot? That these girls cry on purpose in order to elicit sympathy.

Crying lady with the stroller: Shut The F*** Up!

I didn't see enough to know what was going on except that she was upset about a stroller. I didn't see anyone hit her.Is that what allegedly happened?

Wasn't she foreign? I could see how this thing could have been started by a lack of comprehension on her part.

When my boys were young, every airline would allow us to keep them in the stroller until we got to the door of the plane. There, we would leave the stroller, grab up the kids and gear, and then board the plane. Then one of the airline baggage handlers would stow the stroller under the plane.

I would be willing to bet, she misunderstood the way it worked, and instead of leaving the stroller at the door, tried to go on the plane with it. Seems strange, but she had to know that a double stroller is not something to "carry on".

Of course everything after that is a cluster.

Just what US airlines need in terms of good PR!! I know flight crews are stressed with overbooking, lousy customer service, surly passengers who want low fares and tons of service, etc., but the United incident and now the American incident do little to boost confidence.

In the case (the American incident), the pilot, who is in command of the plane, apparently did nothing to restore order and control the situation.

I'm sure the police officer who would put the handcuffs on you (after landing for assaulting a flight attendant - this is not taken lightly!) wouldn't agree with your actions.

Well, the bar has been set...

What about boarding personnel let strollers on or not, rather than having stews hit women with them?
I mean, they stop passengers from carrying on trunks dont they?

Duh.

Once in awhile you see or hear what you know to be true

Dear god thank you my momma didn't have a taser

cell phone video may well be teh worst thing thats ever happened in this country....

You almost NEVER see the whole incident and rarely if ever find out all of the facts...

Load of chitt w/o context. Blubbering bitch seems to have forgotten a few things:

1. Boarding a commercial passenger flight is a privilege, not a right.
2. There are regulations attached to that privilege
3. None of the above is negotiable

Regardless of what else may have occurred, that flight attendant won't be able to defend his conduct. It was unprofessional and he's got to own it.

The claim is, she would not give up the stroller, and the attendant tried to check it. She was struck by the stroller and it just missed the baby. It was not intentional, but no nonsense either. He used force to separate her from her property. You can't do that, regardless of the reason. Just remove her from the flight until she can comply with the rules.
If nothing else, ask france air to translate. Translators are pretty common in airports of that size. My brother married a french airline stewardess. (She now works as a translator for google)
