Air travel is often barely a step above taking the bus.

I am not taking up for the airline steward but one question:

What if he calmly asks for the stroller and she says no. Then he calmly asks her to leave the plane and she says (again) no.

What then?

Call security and they repeat the same two questions.

The final video will still be security "dragging a crying mother with young children down the aisle" and he airline is the wrong party.

They can't win.

When will people learn to follow directions? They should have asked her for the stroller and if she declined then she should have been kicked off the flight. Too many people are looking to play the victim today. As for Billy Badass who "defended her honor" he should have been kicked off the flight as well and banned from flying AA for getting involved in something he had no business in getting involved with. It looked like he just wanted to play the hero when in reality he looked like that douche friend who threatens to kick everybody's arse but never has.

The guy who confronted the flight attendant is a buddy of mine, lived in my town, goes to my church. He had absolutely nothing to gain and has spend the last two days trying to get away from reporters.

Maybe the woman should learn how to follow the rules


Rules dont apply to women with babies (sarcasm). Im so sick of their crap.

A lady at the bakery near my house changed her baby's poop diaper on a table in the middle of the bakery bc the bathroom didnt have a changing table.

That first class passenger should have been thrown off the plane. He was a fricking a-hole. I wish the flight attendant would have knocked him out (I know impossible but still would have been great). frick that crying woman she should have followed the rules in the first place.

Why did your buddy decide to confront the flight attendant? He may have been good intentioned but he made a bad situation worse by interjecting himself into the situation. He very easily could have been thrown off that flight himself and probably should have been. Flight attendants are like cops you don't argue with them and you surely don't fight with them.

Your buddy might have laid out a small male flight attendant but he would've had his shite pushed in by the police and put on a list that would deny him flying ever again.

He is a dipshit and I was praying he would've gotten tasered.

I'm thankful I'm retired and no longer have to travel.

What i don't understand is why didn't the gate agent tell her she couldn't take the stroller on board when he/she collected her boarding pass?

Also why did the member of the flight crew stand there and do absolutely nothing to defuse the situation?

Tell your buddy that unless he's prepared to follow through it's best to stay out of it.

A few random The Boat observations from this:

I'm not surprised it was a foreign woman.

That man wanted some poon with an accent pretty badly with the way he sprung up to defend her.

American Airlines to me seems like the most laid back of the legacy carriers with the most casual atmosphere when I've flown them. I don't know if that comes all the way from the top and impacts the personal interaction training of the flight attendants.

As a Delta man I've enjoyed seeing United and American eat it the last couple of weeks.

Tell your buddy he's a pussy and if I was the flight attendant I would have whipped his arse.
