That's horrible! I would not have been
able to keep my temper in that situation.
I would have been very tempted to punch
that flight attendant in the face...

I guess it would get annoying for all the
other people on the plane and the
attendant was probably getting complaints
or something. The mother should have had
the necessary things with her like toys
and food so that she could do something in
that situation.

I would have been totally ticked at the
flight attendant. Especially, since the
other people on the plane were defending
the mother. The attendant should
definitley be reprimanded for her actions
as well as the pilots for even agreeing to
return the plane and for putting her and
her son off of it. At least the child was
not screaming at the top of his lungs or
something. Sounds like he was just being a
toddler saying bye to the plane. Something
thats NORMAL for a child to do.

i watched it on the news... apparently
every one on the plane had no problem with
it and even the other flight attendants
thought the one making the fuss was nuts.
i would have cursed her out and been
asking for her supervisor. i understand
that it's considered a "terroristic
threat" but jeez, there's no way that
little boy knows that! he just knows he's
getting attention.

That's just wrong. That flight attendant
obviously does not have kids of her own.

I would have told that flight attendant
exactly what she could do with that
benadryl.
Since when does a baby saying "bye bye
plane" get you kicked off? That's just
freaking ridiculous. That lady should have
minded her own business and done her job
instead of inconveniencing everybody and
turning the whole plane around.

wow that is horrible but it happens often
i think. I went walking one day when my
twins were almost a year old and got tired
and decided to take a bus home The girls
were in a tandum strooler one in front of
the other. I got on a low ride bus that
you can just wheel the stroller on. Frist
I got on paid then before I even move to
get toward the seats the bus was already
moving i HAD TO HOLD THE STROLLER EVEN
THOUGH BREAKS WERE ON AND PUT THE SEATS
Unot one person on that bus even offered
to help. Then I finally get the girls and
I all settled and the bus is starting to
get fuller and it was like 4 block since I
got on the bus and nowhere near a cross
street to catch a different bus and the
bus driver told me we had to get off that
my stroller is to big and that I have to
many childen cann't I keep my legs closed.
He stopped the bus and told everyone on
the bus that unless I got off they were
not moving. Now I and not a overly shy
person and have a rather big mouth so I
told him that he could not do this and I
had paid my fear and should be allowed to
ride with my children. The other
passengers were they are fine leave them
alone and to that person that he could get
off too if he did not shut his mouth. I
ended up getting off. Later when I called
Public Transit they said he has the right
to refise passengers. I said that maybe so
but I was not a problem and he was a
rotten man. Long and short of it until 3
other passengers came forward did transit
do something. He was fired in the end but
they would not just take my word that I
did nothing wrong. There are some crazy
people out there

the woman wasn't trying to breastfeed her
son! Grrrr...

you know, people will gripe and roll their
eyes and stuff when a kid is making too
much noise for them, but who in their
right mind would kick the woman and child
off the plane because her kid is talking?
it's not like the kid was having a fit and
running up and down the aisles. you don't
drug a kid for being a kid. utterly
ridiculous. i think the flight attendants
know that they can tell the pilots that
any passenger is being a nuisance and get
them thrown off because of the climate
with air travel safety at the moment. i
think she should be fired for taking
advantage of her position and
inconveniencing everyone involved. maybe
they should have given her some benadryl
to shut her up.
