Mom alleges kicked out of Delta first class for crying baby

"How DARE you address me?! GOOD DAY, SIR… Good day."

I had an issue once where a passenger had moved to my crew break seat and proclaimed that (a) it was open and (b) he was having back problems and needed to lay more flat or he was going to have a medical issue.

I'm sure if he was Twitter-savvy and had GoGo internet access, I would have been "...an evil pilot DEMANDING that a sickly passenger move out of a seat because the sleepy pilot needed an untimately nap. SHAME ON SOUTHERNJETS"

I had a little old lady in first class last week, while we were doing crew bathroom breaks, through a translator (spoke not a lick of english) tell us if we didnt allow her grandson to use the forward lav right then (who was a coach passenger) she was going to have her son beat us up (also sitting coach). When explained that they were free to and required to use the lavs at the back of the plane, she told us they would under no circumstances be using the 'second class bathrooms.'

Would love to see the twitter spin on that if we had handled it completely 'to the letter.'

Sounds like threatening a crew member.

But only because I'm kind of a d..... Richard.

You also don't know how kids are going to react. Some parents hit the jackpot and children cooperate. Sometimes you don't. But I empathize with it, and put my earbuds in and all is good as long as my music is good or I'm flying on DL with the awesome entertainment selection. :D

Or because we knew our parents would smack us silly for acting out in public, but whatever.

Participation trophies, safe spaces and spank-free parenting, oh my.
 
No sorry, hang on. If any other organism screamed at 115 decibels and constantly shat itself, it wouldn't be allowed on the airplane. The fact that your little hellspawn will one day grow up and be a human being is immaterial. It's not I who am being impolite, it's you. Not just to me, either. Sometimes babies just cry, sure, but presumably it's often enough because they can't equalize the pressure in their ears. So basically you're annoying everyone else on the plane and torturing your infant because it's just absolutely vital that the six month old get across the country in 5 hours to, what, close a deal? You've probably got a minivan and there's an excellent interstate highway system* which your tax dollars support. Use them.

*which I understand is about to be maintained most bigly.

Yes because driving across the country is any easier or cheaper with an infant.

I am guessing that you do not have children. It must be nice sitting on your high horse looking down at all of us. If you are so offended by children on airplanes you have a choice. Don't fly or pay $$$ for the convince of not listening to kids on a plane. I don't mean first class, I am more leaning toward your own tube flying through the sky.

You guess correctly. Because, as it turns out, not only is having children NOT my obligation to my Fuhrer and my Reich, it's totally optional. A personal decision which presumably involves weighing the costs and consequences rather than just ovulating and copulating. As such, those who elect to have children ought to stop being children themselves and accept responsibility for the inconveniences which come with parenthood. Changing diapers, buying strollers, being poor, not ramming the precious little life they claim to care so much about in to a pressurized tube filled with disease and irritated travellers so it can go somewhere it won't remember and fill up its diapers in a different zip code. That kind of thing.

Come on, that is completely unfair when you are able to compensate for things and know the experience of flying, when a child cannot. What about the flights with children adopted from China or other countries that you are not going to be able to drive from? I get that some things are a huge inconvenience, but babies aren't easily controlled. Older children, yes, you have a point if you are referring to some that don't know the meaning of discipline and seem to control their parents instead of the other way around. Heck, everyone should be trained on proper etiquette on a plane...because I have seen some pretty deplorable behavior from adults on planes that frankly, should know better.

Target drift! :) I don't think we're talking about refugees and adopted children from China.

That said, copulation is not unpleasant.
