That "little SOB" (nice way to reference a child, by the way) might have had Autism or another disorder which affects their behavior -- behavior that no "discipline" can change.

Hm, I would really like to hear XJet's side of it... From the crew mind you, not a beaurocrat. Every time my wife and infant son have flown on XJet the ENTIRE crew has been nothing short of extraordinarily courteous and accomadating. From the pilots to the gate agents, every XJet employee she came in contact with helped her with our baby (She was travelling alone every time). But who knows, maybe the FA was just having a bad day and said some really stupid things and made some stupid decisions... Or maybe she just had a terrible hangover from trying to drink SAAB pretty

I think your going to see more of this. The FA's I talked to at Eagle are being overworked, underpaid. Most seem to be just burnt out. That includes some pilots too
The Junior mann those girls all the time. I can see how after maybe after a 14 hour duty day, the last thing she wants to hear is some little kid talking while she is trying to give a safety demo. She might have just snapped and that was it.

I just watched a video on AOL about it and they said the other passengers claimed that the mom never made a threat against the FA. I think the FA had a power trip.

I'm leaning in favor of the Parent on this one...I've met a few F/A's (inc. one particularly nasty F/A on XJet) who were super-rude to her Pax.
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."

Needless to say he shut up after that and his pax friends turned on him, what a clown.
