I like the "SWA LUV" though and hope you guys can keep it alive.

Do you seriously believe that being a loving, caring, stable parent has a direct correlation to IQ? I submit that intellect has just about zero direct correlation with perpetration of one person's hatred upon another. Seems to be much more of a spiritual dynamic. Color me crazy if you will....

While not a scientific study on my part I would challenge anyone to dispute it by actual demographic studies of your passenger base. Are you actually new to APC or are you re- entering the fight with a new call sign?

They're paid well over there, no real way around that.

As a DAL Pilot I can vouch for Oscar - Delta has our share of seemingly moronic passengers.

My guess is the the F/As did not make the desicion to look out for the baby's welfare and removing this child from the parent lightly, but did it anyway.
I have nothing but praise for the staff and the airline for doing this.

Had this been my child I would have hired a VERY good lawyer and sued the airline AND the F/A who did this bigtime. I would also try to get the F/A arrested for kidnapping.
Once again it seems the second you step on an aircraft, all your civil rights seem to be left at the airport. Tell me what right a F/A has to take MY child away from me. Does she know the medical history of my child? I hope the airline pays out big for this and it NEVER happenes again. I probably would have been arrested for assault if ANYONE on an airplane tried to take away my child.
