Continental Express FA kicks mother and child off Houston flight.

[capt. megadeth]

If she takes legal action, which she has said she's considering, we should all learn "both sides" of the story.

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:

 

[capt. megadeth]

However, my son loves being around airplanes and constantly points them out as we sit in the terminal. Every 45 seconds he gets excited and says, "Daddy, look, a red and blue one." (Delta paint job) or "Daddy, there goes your airplane." (POS RJ)

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

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.

How do you propose "controlling" a 19 month old who is excited by looking out the window at an airplane?

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:

I agree. All small children can control their mouths. If you tell a child under 5 to be quiet they do it right away, if not I'm sure its bad parenting.

No problemo Mega - we can take care of that!

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?

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

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.

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.....

Agreed you have no heart....

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???
