FULL TITLE: 'Hit me!' The shocking moment an American Airlines flight attendant challenges a passenger to a FIGHT after 'hitting a crying mother in struggle over her baby's stroller'

A shocking video has emerged showing an American Airlines employee challenging a passenger to a fight after allegedly hitting a woman with a stroller on a domestic flight.

The upsetting footage, filmed shortly before Flight 591 departed from San Francisco on Friday afternoon, shows the airline employee goading a passenger and saying, 'hit me'.

The clip was uploaded by passenger Surain Adyanthaya, who explained he started filming after the flight attendant 'violently took a stroller from a lady with her baby on my flight, hitting her and just missing the baby'.

Adyanthaya went on to explain: 'They just in-voluntarily escorted the mother and her kids off the flight and let the flight attendant back on, who tried to fight other passengers. The mom asked for an apology and the AA official declined.'

In the video, a woman is seen standing at the front of the airplane as she is holding a child in her arms.

Consider the FA a junior officer, they represent the captain and refusing their order is usually perceived by the captain as the same as refusing an order coming directly from them. The fact he shook his head and did not support the FA’s actions spoke world’s to me.

I find it hilariously ironic that one of the posters in this thread has an anti-abortion sig line. Yet, posts how young mothers with children are annoying and basically calls any male a white-knight if he tries to defend them.

What does it mean when a flight attendant will tell you once on the plane that you’ll need to check the bag at the gate? Does that mean going all the way back to before security to pay for a checked bag? How will you get that done in time as once they allow passengers on the plane the plane normally departs within 10-15 minutes, which is certainly not enough time to get back to the checked baggage area.

So once on the plane how do you go back through security back to the checked bag area in the airport? More importantly how would you do it before the plane takes off, which once you are on the plane they retract the gateway and start taxiing within 10-15 minutes.

You likely have not flown with many infants (and strollers). If you have a stroller, you fold it up and leave it right outside the boarding door on the boarding ramp. They always tell you/remind you to do that when they take/check your ticket at the boarding gate. Your stroller is waiting for you just outside the plane’s exit door as you later disembark.

The hysterical woman, who may have limited English proficiency based on her accent, may have not understood that and went directly on the plane with it. Before any smart ass asks me if I was on the plane that’s just an educated guess on my part based upon my experience.

They make you catch the next flight.

I have no idea who is right, and who is wrong.

Simple rule of thumb:

  1. I am always right.
  2. They are always wrong.

Look, here's the deal: The only favorable option here is that the passengers and crew all die and the plane go up in a fiery explosion.

Can we agree about that, at least?

Oh hell no!!! How would that work then as I’d already have a large checked bag already on the flight and if I had to wait for another flight where will my luggage be? Sounds like a FUBAR moment.

They give you an option:

  1. Eff you.
  2. There is no option 2.

The passenger doesn’t have to go back through - the Flight Attendants give it to baggage to put in the cargo hold.

50/50.

Sometimes it makes it; sometimes not.
