2. they got their $598.00 reimbursed (which meant they flew home for free), and
3. they got 3 round trip tickets anywhere the airline flies?

EXACTLY! That man better STOP TRIPPING! What happened to the days when Momma only needed to give the child "THE LOOK" and the child straightened up? Oy vey!

[squirrely girl]

i think these parents were just embarassed by it all and wanted to save face by complaining 'bout it - whatever - i've had way too many crappy flights due to screaming kids who kick my seat - please start kicking more of them off

It said they were just "offered" the tickets. If the guy is being a jagoff and insisting he'd never fly AirTran again, then the airline hasn't lost any money on them, and they've made themselves look good. It's like when a restaurant offers you a gift certificate after you find a hair in your food or something that grosses you out so much you never go there again.

Clearly you are from the Burgh, lol. THe only people I've ever met sho use the term 'jagoff'.

Topic?

I am so glad they kicked their lil bad azzes off the plane. I WISH they'd done that for the kids on my plane home over Christmas- there were 7 children under the age of 3 sitting within 2 rows of me and it was hell on earth.

I do understand that the changes in pressure can be painful for lil babies on planes though.

Yinz are soooo right! Have a jumbo samich and an Arn.

What is the problem?

You were compensated fairly, you got to board the plane first, you "chose" to have your child sit IN FRONT of you (WTF?) and then got mad when you were escorted off the plane when the attendants asked to you get off the plane out of fairness to the other passengers? You had an opprotunity to console her, you just didn't DO it. Please.

Pressure changes can be dealt with by chewing gum, sucking a lollipop.
I have an 8 year old, and she KNOWS better, but when she flies, I am sure to pack her a goodie bag of stuff to do and play with so that she gets in her seat, next to her dad and is a model passenger.

GTFOOHWTM!!

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying "Homegirl" Airlines. Your pilot today is Nikki1920, who, as you can see is hardcore 'wit hers. Now sit your azzes back and prepare to take off. That is as soon as you kick in some gas money to the flight attendants coming down the aisle.

Thank you again for flying HomegirlAirlines, where our motto is: "You ain't pay but $99 for the dayum ticket. Stop asking me what time the plane gon get there. We'll be there when we get there."

I think this is about the best post I've read all week.

Hayle no they should have NOT been offered a free flight.

My husband was telling me that on one of his last business trip flights, he got stuck on a flight from Montreal to Vancouver with a squalling brat that was kicking the back of his seat. he was irritated but didn't feel like he could do anything. GTFOOHWTM!!

Shhheeeeee! PUH-leeze.

I told him that he was LUCKY that I wasn't on that flight. I would have gotten straight gangsta on a parent!

Parents, when your kid acts a fool on the plane...ya know what to do...

there are lavatories in the front and back of the plane...use them!

I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And I am not hardcore, I am a FINER WOMAN, through and through.

ETA: Children's church is a wonderful thing. We have one of those "I'll make noise b/c the preacher is talking" babies, and her mom is CLUELESS. Take your child to Children's church (we have monitors in the baby room) or out in the foyer so the rest of us can hear The Word in relative quiet. Have a little consideration. Bring a coloring book or some quiet toys or SOMETHIN!!! That's a pet peeve of mine. Only had to take my child out ONCE. She knows better now. If she gets bored or restless, she goes to sleep.







but Mommy don't play that "Imma act out in public b/c she won't do anything" mess. I can find a bathroom or a secluded corner with my Mommy-vision, handle bidness (yeah, BIDNESS!!) and keep it moving. shiddddddd. lol

Lady A: Hey girrrl, I'm tryin' to get a flight to Vegas next monf... you know I gotta be with the bawlass... Hook a sistah up!

Lady B: I know girrrl... I got us tix on Homegirl Airlines! Only $99 for the whole thang!

Lady A: DAMN! That is a hook up!

Lady B: Hayle yeah! But make sure you got money for gas... I keep a fitty in my bra just for that cause...


*truth be told... I cried at the mini commercial you made Tony... Soul Plane... all Soul Plane...* LOL!

[SummerChild]

Soror, I'm glad that they're behinds were kicked off too! Maybe it will send a message to other parents whom think that just b/c it's *their* child, everyone else is supposed to be in love and accept all of that noise.
I swear, those kids get on my nerves. They need to do like a lady told me she used to do with her son when he was a baby - give him a little Benadryl and he was straight the entire flight (and they were flying to India from the US)!

Be-na-dryl! Be-na-dryl!

But for real, I hope more parents listen up and take a lesson from this situation. Shoot, I may start to ask the flight attendants if some of them can be removed. LOL.
