Another ass employee at American Airlines almost hitting a baby

[Ron]

The Association of Professional Flight Attendants is urging that the benefit of the doubt be given to a suspended American Airlines employee involved in an altercation with a woman carrying an infant. The employee allegedly hit the woman with the stroller she brought on the plane, and video posted of the incident's aftermath has gone viral on social media. The flight attendants union subsequently issued a statement to ABC urging skepticism and caution. "One, we don't know all of the facts related to a passenger who became distraught while boarding a plane and therefore neither the company nor the public should rush to judgment," the association said in a statement Saturday. "Second, it appears another passenger may have threatened a flight attendant with violence, which is a violation of federal law and no small matter. Air rage has become a serious issue on our flights

So the flight attendant got suspended, as he should of been.  The union here is trying to deflect the fact that their person was dead wrong, by deflecting the part that he allegedly hit the woman with the stroller, and AGAIN, blaming another passenger who rose up against this bully. Enough with the crap. Just admit he was wrong.  We don't know all the facts? Correctly, but obviously, we all saw the hot tempered American Airlines employee screw up

I was adamant that this was unacceptable and we were not separating in a foreign country. I calmly demanded to see a supervisor and was assured that would happen if we both left the plane. I agreed and was escorted to his office, with my ex-wife , without further incident.
They gave me 2 first class seats for the next day's flights, hotel/dinner /cab voucher, plus $500.

You are retired, you can do that.  Some of us have school for kids the next day, and some of us MUST be at work for various meetings and won't get paid for missing a flight, or to make sure that some elderly people are checked on. Yes, if I am retired and can do that, all good. But it mattered on how much.  $800 - screw that.  But if they offered $ 2,000 or more.... I bet a lot more volunteers would of come forth.  How much does it cost to miss a day of work, pay more to the car, pay more for someone watching your dogs... etc.

The man who defended a crying mother after an American Airlines flight attendant grabbed her baby's stroller spoke out about the incident in a new interview. "A baby almost got hurt," Tony Fierro told WFAA-TV on Saturday, April 22. "That's what just fired me up, so that was it. I don't want to make a big deal about it. The video, which has since been viewed more than 6 million times, was posted on Facebook by fellow passenger Surain Adyanthaya. "OMG! AA Flight attendant violently took a stroller from a lady with her baby on my flight, hitting her and just missing the baby," she captioned the clip. "Then he tried to fight a passenger who stood up for her. American Airlines said in a statement on Friday night that it was investigating the incident, saying that the company was "disappointed" in the flight attendant's actions, and adding that "what we see on this video does not reflect our values or how we care for our customers.

Lady at 1:20 or so tells the story she saw about the guy ripping the stroller violently from the ladys hands. Turn up the volume. And LOL @ the union trying to turn it into a threats against their employee story. Fat little bald turd was only tough cause he knew if that dude smacked him he'd be able to sure everyone with the unions (extortionists) backing.

What's the ladies problem? She's sobbing like a jackass and her kid isn't even upset.

I smell a lawsuit coming.

Uppity passengers. Like second graders picking fights and sobbing. If I made the rules youd follow them or get dragged off the plane. How soft have we gotten.

Simple rules. Let us do our job and get you there safely. We will put up with a little traveling grouchiness but once you start causing trouble or talking back you will be dragged off the place. We are going to be hurling people's bodies a thousand miles a hour at 40,000 feet. I don't give a flying f if u have to wait for your stroller to be brought up to you from below after the flight. There are 200 other people we are trying to get somewhere safely. So shut the f up and sit down or get the F off.

I wish a CEO would say that. And I fly a lot for 25 years. Follow the rules or get off!

[Slik]

 Also I want people to be orderly and do what they are told while on my flight. I don't want to fellow passenger causing problems with the flight attendant or distracting my pilot. And I am a very successful businessman But I think I'm kind a modest and I don't need to be the center of attention.  I pretty much lay my head low when I'm on flights.  What is wrong with this lady she's up on a stage in front of 200 other passengers putting on a fn show? What kind of idiot does that? And again I'll say the stupid white knighter.  He needs to shut up and sit down or get off. Does he really think he represents everybody opinion on that flight? What right does he have to get up and yell at that guy and threaten him with violence and bring stress and distraction to the flight?

Strollers should be put in the hold underneath the plane, she does not need a stroller on the plane, the overhead compartment is for hand luggage. The baby looked fine and only got upset when his mother wouldn't stop roaring. An attention seeking bitch who should have been told to sit down and shut the fuck up. The white knight should have been told to mind his own business or get off the plane.

this is down to the scumbag airlines charging stupid money to check luggage in the hold. in UK on most short haul flights it's free to take 10kg in hand luggage into cabin but on ave costs around £25 each way to check a 15kg bag in the hold. it's absolute stupidity.

i could be wrong but I don't think they charge for strollers. When u are about to board the plane just as u step in you leave your stroller at the door and they tag it. They turn bring it up to you as u get off the plane. I don't have kids so not sure. Also if the overheads r full and u have to check your carry on you are not charged for it. And Flying is not a right. If u don't like the baggage charge fly another airline or drive to grandmas house. The time to argue is not when the plane is boarded ready to tKe off.

[Slik]

And away we go

Jesus this shit is just too predictable.

I don't know why that link won't  work or what I did wrong but the attorney representing the doctor drag off the plane is now representing this woman.

yeh i think you're right (if memory serves me correct) you just leave pushchair at door before you board and i believe someone takes it and puts in the hold.

what i was saying was more a general comment. the planes in operation these days were designed with a large hold to carry passenger luggage and for people to take light luggage in the cabin with them. since the charges for checking bags every fker is now boarding with a small suitcase in tow and the hold is pretty much empty. which to anyone with 1/2 a brain is obviously fkin ridiculous.

pretty much every airline now charges for checking bags so choosing airline that doesn't is not an option and i live in the uk so i actually travel abroad so driving is not an option either.

[Irongrip400]

Fly first class, and you won't have these problems.

In fairness man flights are so cheap now and it's only €25 for upto 20kg luggage in the planes hold. Myself and three of the lads just booked Dublin to Germany return for €140 which included hand luggage and also a large bag upto 20kg in the hold.

Modern air travel evolved from fast luxury travel to the current bus in the sky mode we now endure.
The 1978 Deregulation of Airline Travel act, started the fare wars to compete for passengers.

To stay in business EVERY airline needs to make a profit.
If you cut prices, you need to cut amenities and add fees to nickel and dime the passengers.
The basic cost of fuel, crew and plane are there for every airline.

After 9/11 airline security became a much bigger issue.
This adds another layer of hassles and overall cost to passenger flights.
I'd be happy to pay a little more for better service and less hassle.
BUT, most folks aren't like me and will take the cheaper flight regardless of services/amenities.

tbh i'm pretty sure the charges for checking baggage coincided with regulations that were brought in (europe anyway) to stop airlines adding on "hidden fees" on top of advertised prices. airlines used to be able to add on government taxes/fuel surcharges etc to their advertised prices. now in europe all these charges have to be included in the original price.

obviously charging for baggage is a loophole they're using as i suppose it can be classed as an optional service.

[bigmc]

i have to fly all over Europe with work

most of the budget airlines are really good now

except ryan air who suck

Jet2 and Aer Lingus are really good

you can take on hand luggage and a lap top

[El Diablo Blanco]

Airline PR companies are pure shit.  When American announced years ago they were going to stop giving out snacks and meals and instead charge $5 to $10 people were outraged.  Why the fuck would you announce that instead of just absorbing that cost into the ticket?  No one is going to argue if you're ticket that was normally $320 is now $325.  Prices flucuate.  So while all the other airlines announced the same shit all you had to say is that you are still giving away free snacks and meals and look awesome.

Same with checked backs.  Just add $10 extra to a ticket and say checked bags are free like southwest does.  They just raised their base rates a bit and no one blinked about it.  Airlines are complete retards when it comes to PR.  They're too arrogant because they are essentially monopolies now and can fuck you when they want.

Ron, for every shit airline worker I'll show you 50 shit passengers.  people are petty as fuck.

 This may sound too philosophical but I think about this a lot when I fly especially when I hear people bitching and complaining about the smallest grievances while flying or while being ticketed 

 For thousands of years man his dreamed of flying and Moe said it was an impossibility.

 We get to our destination within a few hours and that destination maybe thousands of miles away.

We are flying in this incredible machine which our ancestors could only dream of.

 You uncomfortable for a couple hours because your seat might be a couple inches too small?   Then take a fucking Greyhound bus and see how you like it or go ahead and drive across the country or rent a car.

 Probably half of these people that work for the airlines meeting flight attendants and pilots are so stressed right now that somebody's going to sneak on the plane with a weapon or some type of device. They don't need more stress from us. Pay for your ticket shut up get on board sitdown and shut up.

 Ever since 911 the days of us being waited on like patrons in the restaurant are over. These people have jobs to do and they're ever vigilant looking for people that are suspicious I would imagine. I wouldn't want their jobs and I'm gonna  do everything I can to make their jobs as least stressful as possible. Who the hell place tug-of-war with a stroller with a flight attendant? That's just bullshit

The lady sounded foreign and has never flown?  They tell you at the gate you need to leave the stroller at the end of the jet bridge and give you a tag to put on it.  The airlines have always been awesome about stowing it for people and having it right away for them.  So why the fuck was this lady being so stupid?

tbf the airline fked up by not noticing the lady had boarded the plane with the pushchair . it is not really her fault that she didn't know the usual procedure . this is for the airline staff to know.

at the point someone from the airline realised she had the buggy on the plane they should have apologised to her(for letting her board the plane with a buggy) then politely taken it from her and either put in the hold or if too late for that found somewhere in the cabin to stow it safely.

Maybe they tried to and she refused?

Spoken like a person who does not have two small kids on a plane by himself.

Trust me, when you have two small kids, a big bag for them (diapers, food, small toys), another bag you need for yourself, you NEED that stroller by the gate. Trying walking onto a plane with two small kids, and all of that. Much harder than it looks (having done that).

Besides, that guy was a jackass for taking it from her like that and hitting her in the face with it. It kind of hurts, especially if he swung it. They already admitted he was wrong. The screwed up thing is that they so go crazy about a little stroller, but when you bring a huge guitar on board... well, that is ok. Be fair on both.

Place the smaller bag into the bigger bag.  Place the kids in the bag and finish with a sheepshank knot.  Plus size children can be secured to the outside of the bag with a bungee cord.  Smoke a cigar with the other hand.

I took my son to get a new tank top. His side muscles are getting so big that he is popping out of his wife beater at school, and it is causing a problem because the ladys are distracted, they can't keep their eyes off of him.

So we are in line at Walmart today, and this guy bumps into my achillies tendon with his shopping cart. I turned around and this s.o.b. is laughing at me. Not even a sorry. I told him to go back to Mexico and go pick some peppers. He got mad and called me a hillbilly. I was going to touch him with my jab, but the shopping cart was shielding him from my line of fire, so I picked up a bag of Skittles and launched it at his face.

He got out of the way, and the Skittles bounced off of this little girl's head. She started crying, and next thing I knew, this big black guy hits me over the head with a shovel. My son began to swing on him, and I got up and tackled the guy. I pulled down his pants and shoved a bag of skittles in his ass. Then I hit him in the cock with a pot of flowers.

The mexican guy thought it was pretty funny, so I threw him inside of his shopping cart and pushed him into a cactus. I didn't even pay for the shirt. My son and I just headed for the door. This old white guy at the door who only had one arm tried to stop us. My son shook his hand and I touched him with the jab. He went down before I could even throw the right.

As I was getting into the truck, this cop tried to put me in hand cuffs. I spun around twice and hit him with the deadly uppercut. My fourteen year old son started the pickup, so I jumped in the back and we sped home. It was a close one, but at least my son got a bigger shirt.

My buddies brother-n-law was an air Federal marshal for over a decade. He basically told my buddy that passengers don't really have any rights in the air. They just think they do. Same as at sea. Who cares if a baby almost got hit by accident with a stroller. It would just toughen the little bastard up. And I agree with others who said the mom had some fake tears flowing...
