By that, I mean “clear enough for the retards working for them to parse out.”

I think they were hiring people rejected by the TSA.

The gate agent is shitty. My breastfeeding wife and I flew about 5 times with our now 9 month old. She bought all that shite too. Never had any problem.

It's clear, my question is why is American not sticking by said policy?

I don't think the issue is whether or not she should have checked it or not. The bigger issue is the agent causing a scene about it when the question could have been settled more discreetly.

It sounds like this dude has the customer relations ability of a local fast food worker. Assuming of course that the lady wasn't the one getting loud about it 1st

because the gate agent was likely saying "frick you white" and exerting her $12/hour power

How are they not?

The gate agent is stupid and American came out and said the mom was within their policy.

quote:

Leslie Scott, a representative of American Airlines, told NBC 5 the argument should never have happened and that the policy is stated clearly on the airline’s website. She said it was an error on the agent’s part.

Why is a chick with a baby flying anyway? Stay home and raise your kid like God intended

Exactly. Policies only work when you hire the right people for customer facing positions.

This is 100% on the shite bag gate agent.

Human nature, you have good and bad in any profession. This could've been handled a lot better.

this is what the disease of liberalism brings to America. Expect more and more of this kind of critical thinking as we continue down this road.

Hopefully she’ll see you white knighting for her on the internet so she can reward you

When the kid shits on the plane, then she can't change him because she had to check her carry on.

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





As a parent, yes it is.

As a fellow passenger, yes it is. Unless you like screaming babies on your flight.

The milk is a necessity for the baby. It isnt really that hard to understand.

With that being said, that bitch needs to pack better.
