BUT. Saab also has a point - If I acted out or wouldn't shut-up as a kid, my parents held no reservations in shutting me up - forcefully if required LoL. I see kids in the terminals and aircraft getting away with murder. The mother in this case may have been the "victim," but she sure as hell wasn't "right."
well since I am on leave from said airline our F.A.'s can be pretty...........tough. I hope the actions of one FA doesn't mess it up for everyone. Who knows? maybe mommy did threaten the FA, pax tend to back each other up. I know one fool that when I worked ramp broke a cabin bin door then thought it was funny and laughed about it, he got other pax to laugh about it too, till I told him we would be charging to him the cost to fix the door and the flight delay, he turned beat red and I made sure his record was documented.......wonder how he made out??
Needless to say he shut up after that and his pax friends turned on him, what a clown.
