Air Tran gives 3 year old the boot

There's a reason that FAs can't be FFDOs. I could envision daily reports of unruly passengers being pistol whipped.

Come to think of it, maybe that would be a good idea........:smash:

Agreed :nuts:

LOL! That just makes me cringe. Why would anyone want to become that? It's kind of sad actually.

To each her own I suppose, but your arrogance is not a little annoying. You actually disrespect your own mother's choice(s) with your inability to have even the slightest understanding of what being a parent actually means.

Having ambitions, motivations, hopes and dreams beyond just "wanting to be a mom"....ugh....you know there is more to life than having kids.....A LOT more to life.

Just being a Mom? Wow. Yes there is a lot more to life than having kids, but there isn't anything better in life than having and raising kids. My wife's ambitions, motivations, hopes, and dreams are not diminished by her sacrifice to choose motherhood. They are enlarged.
Send your Mom some flower's this May. Better yet, go see her and tell her how much you appreciate her sacrifice of all those "things" in life so she could raise you.

Dude, my mom got pregnant with me on accident and she has mentioned more than once that she wonders what her life would have been like if she didn't have me. I know she loves me but I can sympathize with her. Her life would have probably been a lot easier. Just because I don't want to sacrifice my entire being for a bunch of whining crying wallet draining $hit machines (as my buddy affectionately calls them) and "just be a mom" doesn't mean I don't appreciate what my mom has done for me.....so don't sit here and lecture me about my own mother. My mom's the best and she knows I think so so STFU!

Not surprising I suppose...

WTF is that supposed to mean?

Hey Capt Megadeath, this is a bit of a shot in the dark, but, you didn't used to (perhaps still do) teach the panel on the 727 at FedEx did you?

No, why? Is there another woman out there that doesn't just want to be a baby machine? Teee heee

A few years ago I was standing by the gate in uniform at DFW waiting to deadhead. A little girl nearby ( 3 or 4 years old ) was misbehaving and being feisty towards her moms demands for her to behave. I thought "here we go again..."
After a second or third attempt to control her daughter and the girl saying "NO!!", the woman grabbed her daughters arm, bent her over her knee and spanked her right then and there.
I was shocked that there could be such discipline and common sense..and in public at that. I looked at the mother and nodded. Others around me looked at each other with relieved looks. It works and I seriously doubt that little girl will grow up having been "abused".

91% said off, little sympathy for brat and mommy, I know I have none!

No, she flies for UPS, been there coming up a year now I think.

Most of the female pilots I know fit into this "niche". More interested in career and enjoying life than having kids.

However, I also have known several female pilots who have had kids and they wouldn't have it any other way. They bid day trips or CDO's and are home every night almost without fail. They make it happen.

Stressful? Yep. Difficult? Yeppers.

Worth it?

You bet your sweet little a*s.

No disrespect intended.
