Breastfeeding Mother Mortified by Airline Carry-on Milk Ruckus

American Airlines issued an apology Tuesday after a woman boarding a flight from Los Angeles to Chicago said she was mortified when an employee near the gate stopped her from entering the plane due to her breast milk cooler and berated her for arguing over the airline’s carry-on policy.
quote:
Kelsey Myers says she was told she was carrying too many items to board the plane. She said she was carrying a carry-on, a personal item, breast milk in a cooler and a breast pump. Myers wrote in a Facebook post on the airline’s page that a gate agent told her she needed to check her bag. As the two debated what the policy was, the agent called his supervisor.
quote:
“She did not even ask me the situation,” Myers wrote. “But instead immediately told me I need to check a bag. I again told her it was a medical device and I needed to carry it on. She started yelling at me to check the bag. In a condescending tone, she screamed in front of about 50 people waiting to board the flight ‘how many boobs do you have.’”
quote:LINK
Scott said the airline has since apologized to Myers and offered her compensation.

This is what happens when you keep putting the wrong people in customer service jobs.

Common sense has just gone out the window I think

The rules don’t apply to anyone anymore. And if you enforce said rules, people go cray.

Screw the Tsa. I want to punch them when they test my wife’s milk.

Since she's kind of hot, I choose to be outraged over this.

Yep.
Everyone always demands that they be the exception.

Airline should have told her to frick off. A refrigerator for your lactating fun bags is not a "medical device".

But the airline agent was wrong. Why would the airline tell her to frick off if it was the airline who was wrong?

Is it just me or does that kid have a gigantic head?

I’m assuming the baby was also going to be on her lap. She was carrying on a lot for only one ticket.

They couldn't have tried to word this a little more clearly?
