Glad I dont work for them!

[Britpilot]

just glad I will never work for them or ever buy a ticket on them.

I'm glad you don't work for us as well. You don't even understand the very basic FAR's. I hope you never find a job at any airline, moron.

Hate to say it but he kinda makes Indie pilots look bad........

The ones I know would never say anything this retarded !!

flyipilot is a WINDOWLICKER for sure......

Glad I can get a rise out of everyone..makes reading these more fun. Say what you will, I just voiced an opinion as you have yours. If a small child can directly intervene with a crewmembers duties..WOW! I think the gate agents had the door open the whole time. The airplane was not off the gate..so, thus it was not crew interference. I could be wrong but, I am pretty sure that the FAA see it this way as well. I did not say I did not agree with kicking them off the flight. I just said they did it poorly, or I meant to say it. Now they are in all the news and it is not good press. The family has had hundreds of outpours to them and offers from others. Of course jumping on the band wagon of the public sympathy. Being a pilot has nothing to do with the FAR's, that is just simple government regulations everyone follows. The Pilots might not have even been involved, it might have been the FA telling the gate agents to remove them, which they did. I say charge the kid with interference of a crew member...then Air Tran will really look good! I have a lot of great friends at Air Tran and they know how I feel. Now, Skybus...well there is an airline! Perfection!

Did you see the MSNBC poll where only 9 percent of the 115,000+ respondents said they were treated unfairly? 91 percent said the crew was absolutley correct kickin the kid off the plane.

 

[McNugget]

Thats right, 100 other people should'nt have their travel interrupted because you can't control a child. I'm 40 and still afraid of my parents wrath.

I hear ya.

I don't see how people can say that this is a problem with AirTran clientele, it is everywhere.

Also Fox was at 95%, and they didnt show for the interview.

Family is thrown off Air Tran flight after child throws a temper tantrum

A Massachusetts couple was asked to get off a Boston-bound flight before takeoff in Florida because their little girl would not take her seat. The airline says it was following federal regulations but the couple says they were treated unfairly.

Three-year-old Elly Kulesza of Worcester may say she likes flying but that wasn't the case last week when she and her parents boarded an Air Tran flight to return from a Florida vacation.

"When we picked up Elly to put her back in her seat that's when she started to cry."

"It was a strong solid waa, she wasn't really happy."

But Elly's parents were stunned by what airline employees told them next.

"They were talking to my husband, they said 'so you need to get off the plane now' and I looked up and I went are you serious?"

Serious they were, off the plane they went, their luggage and car seat headed to Boston without them.

"And to make matters worse, the Kuleszas were told since they were thrown off the plane they couldn't get on another plane for 24 hours."

Air Tran says: "It regrets the situation but that we have an obligation to the other 112 other passengers on the flight, and had to make an operational decision to ask the kulesza party to deplane so the flight could depart."

"I was outraged and embarrassed, I'm a full time EMT in Boston and if I treated anybody the way they treated me I would be out of a job.

"I just wanted to make the public aware of what happened and this too can happen to them if their child is crying too much."

Air Tran did refund the Kulesza's money and did offer them 3 free round trip business class tickets anywhere they wanted to go but the Kuleszas declined, saying they're never flying Air Tran again.

I know it can be seen both ways, who wants to sit next to a crying kid..but, who is to say the kid would cry on and on...but, life sucks sometimes and it is no way to treat a paying customer. Of course Airtran is a cheap airline to fly on and they get what they offer...just glad I will never work for them or ever buy a ticket on them. But, this is just my opinion.

Why is it that people (especially white) dont discipline their kids anymore? Kids now a days do what they want, talk to their parents how they want and dont get a simple bathroom trip to get b**ch slaped! I'm glad they kicked those people off the airplane, and i hope they do it to everyone that has a kid like that and parents like that! Good job airtran.
I'm the one that always gets stuck infront or behind these screaming, uncontrollabe punks, and every time I feel like turning around and punching the dad's face in b/c he should be doing a better job at disciplining his kids!
