Harry,
Are you encouraging the use of corporal punishment?
Sounds very "liberal" of you.

The woman was right; the airline was wrong.

Nope. Airlines have the right to refuse service to anyone who, in
their
judgment, is inappropriately dressed, intoxicated or otherwise in

violation

of their policies. The problem here was not the images. It was the

"word".

Good for them! The woman can complain all she wants but airlines
can

set

their own standards.

Airline? Standards? Surely you jest. On my flight back from Hawai'i
to
San Francisco, two rows in front of me, there was a couple incapable
of
controlling their crying, screaming brats. The two kids whined all
the
way back to the mainland, for four and a half hours. without letup. I
asked one of the flight attendants to ask the couple to either
control
their brats or to move them to a less-occupied part of the plane. She
refused.

At least 20 other passengers complained. Those brats were more
offense
than anyone's shirt.


Crying kids are part of our world Harry and, although annoying to you,
are
not unique.

I've flew many miles in my working days and crying babies and bratty
kids
where often part of the experience. On occasion I even had my own
crying
baby along.

Your standards for travel are too high for commercial airlines. Buy
your own
jet.

Hey, I'm not talking about a half hour of crying and screaming; these
two brats would not shut up the entire trip.


Then, Harry, the most likely explanation is that they were in pain.

The parents probably should have given the kids a drink. Swallowing helps
equalize the air pressure in the inner ear.


You're assuming the kids were in pain, and the parents did give them
plenty to drink. I'm assuming the parents were obnoxious. In fact, they
were on the continuation of the flight to Minneapolis, and the person who
was sitting next to them INSISTED that her seat be moved far away from the
brats. The mother of the kids said in a snarly voice, "This woman has an
issue with my children." At that point, I piped up and said, "You're the
issue, mother of the year. Control your kids."

If I had carried on like that for as long as those kids did, my father
would have threatened to put me into low-earth orbit. My father never hit
me, but he was a sturdy fellow and very strong. I took him seriously.

These weren't infants, by the way. They were toddlers. And they were
whining in the terminal too, before the continuation of the flight.
