Continental Express FA kicks mother and child off Houston flight.

[NEDude]

If it's not possible, then I suppose you'd better not take your 19 month old child on an airplane. That's why God invented the minivan.

I do agree that parents should not let their kids trash the airplane, and you should not let them kick seats or run around uncontrollably. But I have seen adults behave just as bad if not worse on flights. The worst mess I have ever seen made on an airplane was from a middle aged male business traveler. And we have all seen it. So don't think messes are confined to children.

But if controlling a kid to you means making sure they never say a darn thing in public then you are out of line. By all public accounts this was simply a case of a young kid getting excited about seeing airplanes. If you think a parent should somehow control their childs excitement over something like that then you are totally out of line and do not belong in society.

The FA said that she was threatened. That's all that I need to hear to have the passenger removed.

Bravado my man! Macho Macho Macho Man! He's gonna be a Macho Man!!

If you can't control your kids on a plane, then don't take your kids on a plane. Simple solution.

There is a new horror movie coming out with Sam Jackson.....

It's called....

Kids on a Plane!!!

Resolved the situation? The FA said that she was threatened.

I am willing to bet...without the whole story that the FA wasn't threatened... she was fustrated and angry...

Take a look at your PCL FOM. If memory serves, then that qualifies as a Threat Level 2. It's not something that you're supposed to take lightly. It's not the Captain's job to determine whether an FA is being honest or not.

So much for customer service..... Flying CAL? Don't bring your kids!

Once she claims that she's been threatened, then that's game over, back to the gate. The authorities and the company can worry about what happens next.

So when the FA realizes she can control you, when do you stop going back to the gate?

I got an idea....if you can't control your kids.....DO NOT FLY WITH THEM! There is no excuse for crap all over the cabin after a flight because your kids threw crap all around. If they do, you need to clean it up.

Let's not have kids! Your mother did.....and look what kind of mistake, by your own admission, that was!!!

If taking care of kids takes so much energy and you can't handle it.....I got another idea......DO NOT HAVE MORE! Many people seem to ignore this simple solution and have more kids "because they want them". I want a Corvette but I can't afford it so I don't have one. I want a dog but I can't take care of it right now so I don't have one. Hello? It's a simple concept.

Let's question the gift of life!!

I have no tolerance for screaming babies. I think I may have a breakdown when I have some of my own. That screaching in my ear is enough birth control for me.

Here is where your de-elevate yourself to superdumb...

For some reason when your own baby cries there is a desire to comfort and love the baby. Part of what helps is a hormone called oxytocin...

"Oxytocin is a hormone that helps mammals bond.... In humans, oxytocin levels rise during childbirth, breast feeding and sex. Humans with higher oxytocin levels are more likely to trust other people.... I figure if we can hang Oxytocin Meters around people's necks, we can tell who is involved in healthy relationships and who isn't."​

​

Now, Mega... I figure if you were injected with oxytocin to make up for your zero levels you'd still reject your own baby..... please for the love of god and all things human..... do not have children.

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Legal action for what?


Waaaaa, I want a million dollars for getting kicked off an airplane.....waaaaaa

Kids that can't sit still and shut up shouldn't be allowed on airplanes anyway. :laugh:

You despise children yet in 16 years when you want a nice friendly teenager to take your supersized order at McDonald's the kids are magically released from your concentration camp and there they are...well adjusted servants of you.....

Someone is going to have to clean your bed pan when you are 70 years old.... and that person will have been a child.....

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Ya know I was quite happy being my heartless little self and then I had to read your post.

Agreed you have no heart....
:laugh:

I couldn't help thinking how cute your little boy looks and sounds when he says that. Awwwww, now I want one! Must be that damn uterus of mine playing games with me again...LOL.

You also have no uterus.... it is a black hole that sucks the life out of any egg that has a chance...

Well the story said she suggested baby Benadryl.....so there ya go! :laugh: A sock in the baby's mouth should do it too! :laugh:

How is your finacee doing, you know...the human sacrifice???

You're probably right, but I don't "bet" when safety is involved. FA said she was threatened? Back to the gate. End of story.

So when the FA realizes she can control you, when do you stop going back to the gate?

Probably around the same time the company fires said FA for constantly claiming that she's being threatened. How much you wanna bet that it won't take more than twice?

Wow Rez, that was a lot of posting

Oh settle down Holmes....most of what I said was a joke.

BTW, just because there is a "gift of life" doesn't mean everyone should run around having all the babies they can. There is more to life than just having kids and not everyone SHOULD have them....especially if you can't handle it and/or if you can't afford it.

OMG....the drama!

Having have had wiped hundreds of nursing home patient's a$$es from my hospital days, TRUST ME when I say if I am ever near that kind of state, I will get Dr. Kevorkian Jr. to take care of business or I will do it myself.

1. My little scrumptious human sacrifice tells me that all the time!

2. Probably!

3. He's great! He's sleeping in right now (ya know.....something you don't get to do when you have those crying, screaming, wallet draining $hit machines.....LOL). Thanks for asking.

For all of you who think talkative children are annoying, just wait until cellphones are allowed in flight! (We all know that is coming sooner or later).

You'll never hear a kid in an airplane again, due to all the adults shouting about their private lives into their phones.

I can't believe most the attitudes you people have toward your pax on here. It still is a customer service buisness whether you like it or not. I think the FA was wrong but you have to believe her. That said though I now work for a fractional and airline quite a bit and some of these regional FA's have a real power trip and are very rude for no reason. I was on a chautaqua flight where the FA was actually yelling of the PA at people to hurry up and take their seat. I have news for all the airlines that tell people to hurry and sit down, BORED THE AIRPlANE SOONER THAN, otherwise I don't want to hear it. I've had rude pax on flights before that have been removed and all the other pax agreed and cheered when they were hauled off so I doubt the other pax on this flight would lie.

 

[pianoman]

Folks we have seen exactly one side of this story. I bet there's a completely different angle. Whether we'll ever hear it, who knows.

Of course the mother says she never threatened the FA.

Don't know who was right here and neither does anyone else. Unless you were sitting next to her.

 

[flyingitalian]

And the the people sitting next to her supported the passenger.
