Was this posted here earlier today or am I going crazy
anyways, isn't also the captain's fault though? I mean doesn't he have the final say? I guess during taxing, you can't just get out of your seat, face the problem and execute a decision, and have to rely on the FA but...

Kick her off. If I can't talk on the phone, I really don't want to have to hear anybody's kids. If you can't keep them quiet, they don't belong in public.
People need to learn how to control those kids anyway. If my dog makes too much noise, I'm an irresponsible pet owner. If a kid makes too much noise, it's cute.
NOT!!
It makes you an irresponsible parent.
The flight was better off.

Obviously you dont have any kids. I have a 1 year old. He's great but there is just no telling when he's going to hit the wall.
Families travel. In fact my wife, son, and dog are taking a plane to SLC when I head out to training. If they threw her off, I'd be irate.
Maybe the airlines should consider not allowing parents, families, or small children on board.
Hint: customer service wins more business than it loses. This isn't good press for any airline, especially when it's sitting on the fron page of Yahoo. CAL and XJT gotta love this.

Hehehe - Oh, but I do. And when I say shut up, she shuts up.
A one year old, huh? Call me when you catch up in 11 years, and we'll discuss it further.
I had a 1 year old once, and we drove when we traveled.
I would agree with this - or, maybe having "Non-children" flights. I'd pay more for that than I would first class.
I agree!!
You would be AMAZED at the number of people - parents even - that are reading that article, smiling, and saying "about frigging time!!".
The only thing worse than a canceled flight is an on-time flight with a crying baby.

The rest of the world shouldn't be required to go out of its way to accommodate you simply because you decided to use your ability to procreate.
Then perhaps you shouldn't take him on an airplane.
mtsu_av8er, right on!

They do, without a doubt . . . the right to not have to listen to loud babies!

Yeah, see we all know how the media can turn a little soccer ball into a giant baloon. Well, I have a feeling inside me the kid didn't just say 'bye bye ground' or whatever he said. he was instead probably screaming and just irating everyone else on board. Like one of those parents taht bring their kid to the theaterr and when the kid is screaming, they don't do SQUAT... I actually saw a fight break out in a theater because of that once lol.

What about the other X customers on the plane?
Of course the FA obviously didn't watch that Mesa pro standards video

That time of the month? I have an 18 month old and just got back from Fla with her. She was good on the 2 hr. flight but could've easily turned into a screaming match. 18 month old kids don't understand why they have to stop crying, they just cry. It's an instinct and a reaction. Ears pop during altitude changes? Babies can't exactly deal with pain, they cry. And I am not driving 20+ hrs with a baby, people can suck it up for 2 hrs.

I for one find the actions of the F/A reprehensible. The way the story was presented, the mom in no way threatened the attendant. Yet the F/A proceeded up to the cockpit and said she had been threatened? If I was the captain and I had gone all the way back to the gate under false pretenses, I think I'd be pretty ticked. I mean, ultimately, the captain was the one that made the decision to turn back. Would his decision have been any different had the F/A presented the situation accurately? Instead, the company now could face litigation as a result of the F/A's actions that could prove much more expensive than the annoyance of having a small child on board making noise for a few hours.
Of course, the story didn't say how exactly they knew that the F/A had said she was threatened, either.
