I thought it was JetBlue you didn’t talk about flying.

Forget this article. What about eyewitness accounts that say he hit mom and nearly hit the baby in taking away the stroller? You can hear them say so on the tape.

“And, what is up with no man offering to help the woman with her burden of a child on each hip? She was clearly stressed and struggling....”
**********************************************

Yes she clearly was stressed and had lost control of her emotions & was acting irrationally Perhaps the “gallant’” male passenger who intervened by physically threatening the crew member could have done that instead of trying to prove his manhood in an inappropriate manner. Or perhaps he could have offered to carry the woman's stroller in his lap for the whole flight. The male passenger did not help the situation; he merely made it far worse.

I haven’t flown in years, since they started feeling-up their passengers.
Is Jet Blue the one where they smack you in the head if you nap and talk in your sleep?

Thats right! it wouldn’t take long to correct both the airlines and the TSA behavior!

But you know what to many sunshine Patriots, People bragging on how much they are willing to fight for their rights and yet they won’t even accept what might be a small inconvenience to stop the air travel madness wherein the Airlines and the TSA reduce Free Born Americans’ rights to those of cattle on a cattle truck!

Watched the tape again and listened carefully. I heard no accounts other than that of the belligerent passenger upset at the employee and the employee insisting that the passenger was not aware of everything.

Is there some other source of eye witness testimony other than the tape? Or did you hear something I didn't?

He should have been happy to see the woman hit in the head by the male stewardess.

I don’t know what has happened to people either. I married a wonderful man who behaved in the polite & kind manner that you described.

A few years ago, he turned into the other “man” that you described. He suffered a concussion, so I thought maybe it was that. But, sometimes I wonder if it’s just the overwhelming “crappiness” of society that gets to even decent people? Particularly if you don’t REALLY take care not to hang around with the wrong people & in other ways try to make sure that your moral compass stays firmly grounded.

Whatever it is leaves their victims injured, heartbroken & alone.

I would have done the same thing but, demanded a real man to speak with instead of some overeating, underachieving adolescent.

Nice to see the usual thug pussies use the law as their proxy instead of reason.

That nancy boy isn’t even a cunning runt.

Watch, I live in the Bay Area and it’ll be hilarious if I run into him.

I come from a long line of smart asses and he is just batting practice.

Can’t even tie his sboes but, steps into an uncomfortable situation and using all his powers of discernment and desire to help someone accomplish something important, becomes the sick opportunist he is when he’s drunk and takes advantage of a distraught mother and worried passengers so he can he can throw his squaty body weight around hoping know one finds out his “tenis” is so embarrassingly small that bugs are embarrased to see it....

They carry a pole with a feather on one end and a knob on the other.

3/10 on the rant.

Not enough f**ks and vulgarity in general.

“Go ahead and hit me. See what happens”.

“No, no, no. See, you look like a frog and youblook like yoir all jumpy when find someone to victimize.

Since you like to use a proxy as your source of power to intimidate and prey on the vulnerable, I’ll be the proxy for this woman and you will go through me.

Which will be pretty difficult becaue you look like you go through a buffet and a bag of potato cbios prettt hard.

Now, go get a real man with real authority and more compassion than the hyena jackal you are.

A lion type will be fine.

Couldn’t work them in.

I used my quota couple hours ago and the AM is kind enough to at least let me live but, giving those posts the heave ho.

I haven’t flown since 1991. Used to screw up my ears something awful when I did (now I have permanent vestibular damage, so if I flew, I’d be projectile barfing on everyone in sight at takeoff). Anywho...

I’ve heard horror stories about JetBlue from others. It reminded me of the infamous Jerry Lewis’s Jolly Fats Weehawkin Airlines.

It's possible. The psychic hits we take daily can wear a person down. Remembering how you were raised and faith in a creator or simply reminding yourself every day to live by a "golden rule", if followed consciously, goes a long way to ingraining those habits so they become a part of you.

I hope your hubby comes around. Being true to yourself takes work and commitment.

Maybe she didn’t know the rules.

I used this vid => http://youtu.be/pVuvAVa35T4

At about 0:48 you can hear a guy (not the guy who stood up) say ‘smacked her....’. You can hear the passenger who stood up say he almost hit the baby. That’s 2 eyewitnesses, not counting mom and the lady who recorded it. As I mentioned before, AA already threw him under the bus.

The weight of evidence at this point says the bald attendant acted in a way to endanger mom and her babies.

What’s the first rule of flying United? You don’t talk about flying United.

Back in the days of National Airlines, it was all about "Fly me".

Olivia Morgan, another passenger who was waiting to board the flight with her 8-year-old daughter when the incident occurred. She told KTLA-TV the flight attendant was “violent” and almost hit the woman’s baby with the metal stroller.
