AirTran Backs Decision to Boot Family From Plane After Toddler's Tantrum
Tuesday, January 23, 2007
ORLANDO, Fla. — AirTran Airways on Tuesday defended its decision to remove a Massachusetts couple from a flight after their crying 3-year-old daughter refused to take her seat before takeoff.
AirTran officials said they followed Federal Aviation Administration rules that children age 2 and above must have their own seat and be wearing a seat belt upon takeoff.
"The flight was already delayed 15 minutes and in fairness to the other 112 passengers on the plane, the crew made an operational decision to remove the family," AirTran spokeswoman Judy Graham-Weaver said.
Julie and Gerry Kulesza, who were headed home to Boston on Jan. 14 from Fort Myers, said they just needed a little more time to calm their daughter, Elly.
"We weren't given an opportunity to hold her, console her or anything," Julie Kulesza said in a telephone interview Tuesday.
The Kuleszas said they told a flight attendant they had paid for their daughter's seat, but asked whether she could sit in her mother's lap. The request was denied.
She was removed because "she was climbing under the seat and hitting the parents and wouldn't get in her seat" during boarding, Graham-Weaver said.
The Orlando-based carrier reimbursed the family $595.80, the cost of the three tickets, and the Kuleszas flew home the next day.
They also were offered three roundtrip tickets anywhere the airline flies, Graham-Weaver said.
The father said his family would never fly AirTran again.

I wanted to choke out this little girl who was crying and her idiot dad too. All the little girl wanted was to sit by her mom and the dad didn't want to switch seats. I paged the fucking stewardess so many times and finally about 5 minutes before landing he moved. I swear, if it werent for 911 I would have torn him a new one. Can't disturb planes anymore. Seriously though, these fuck up parents should have given her a good swat in the ass and strapped her in. Fuck her crying ass. WHo's the parent here?

No shit. I got smacked so hard by my dad for inappropriate behavior that all he had to do was give me "the look" and I knew it was time to shut the fuck up and do as I'm told.

Amen!
AirTran absolutely made the right decision. If those fuccknuts want to let their brat of a kid run their lives, fine, but the other 112 people on board shouldn't have to get fuccked over because of it. My opinion of AirTran just went up.

THe mother said "i tried asking her what was wrong". No, you tell your daughter the be quite or she is going to get a spanking, one peep , and you light her up. And then you tell the kid, "If you cry I'm going to give you something to cry about"
I swear they need a parenting class, mandatory. Instead of the Babyboom Gen. version of child discipline.
