Default Southwest flight attendant takes baby

I didn't see this posted yet.

Flight attendants are in the news quite a bit lately.

This is why you should have to have a certain IQ in order to reproduce.

Well, there is clearly a disparity in the story:

A Southwest Airlines flight attendant reportedly removed a baby from her parents' care mid-flight after witnessing the mother slap her crying child.
Vs:

"In this case, it was a baby that was upset, and the flight attendant asked the mother if she wanted help with the baby."
If it's the former, then it's absolutely none of that FA's business unless there is clearly an assault/abuse or a threat to the safe conduct of the flight.

Otherwise, it's none of their business.

I smell a lawsuit if it is, indeed, the former.

Hacker,

Are you saying the media could have gotten this story wrong?

How dare you sir/ma'am!

I read the headline yesterday, and before I even read the article I knew it was SWA. Greyhound prices = Grehound passengers.

It is a GREYHOUND paycheck.....It just doesn't feel like one since others' paychecks have dropped to "Trailways" levels....

And nowhere near the paycheck that the lady will get. We reportedly settled for 6 figures to a lady who was beating her kids on a flight.
