When did the fact that people don't get paid well make it ok to leave out patience and kindness?


There is no excuse for being rude! If you don't like your job QUIT!

You obviously do not have kids. Until you do, you will never know. And nieces and nephews do not count.

The only clue that it was XJet was when the reporter said "... Continental Express Jet...". Obvious to us, but not to everyone.

I have seen and heard on at least two stations, CNN and FOX News, that they used Express Jet. Nothing about Continental. But like others say, people see Continental colors and that is what they think.

This is the mom and baby on ABC news. Watch

If he acted anything like this on the plane he should have been kicked off. The media always blows things out of proportion.

I have a 2 1/2 year old and he would never act like that.

Yeah, that kid didn't really help her case by acting like that on national television. She should have given him some benedryl before the show.

However once again, IF the story is reported accurately (Which I have no way of knowing until the flight crew is interviewed) I in absolutely no way condone that kind of treatment of passengers... Especially if your airline is just getting started on it's own label, bad publicity like this could kill an upstart like XJet.

No kidding. Anyone remember the SKW lav incident?

poor pilot 07-13-2007 02:10 PM

forget the drugs nothin says lovin like a good *** woopin thats what he needs. I don't care how young a kidd is parents need to be able to maintain control and if you look at the GMA interview the kid was acting like a rugrat and they for the most part kicked him off the show too.

I would also like to hear the crews side of the story. I get tired of the media always focusing on whoever is against the airlines. The kid may have done exactly as depicted but I just can't imagine that a flight attendant would make a plane turn around just because she was annoyed with a kid. Also, why was their no mention that the mother even tried to comply with the FA request?

Now imagine if Paris gets kicked off an XJet flight for being drunk and obnoxious, and throwing a child like tantrum... Then you guys are screwed ;)
