Little Kid Kicked off of a Plane 2009-10-31 15:02:27 Reply

http://news.aol.com/article/southwest-ai rlines-apologizes-for/745890

A two year old was throwing a tantrum on a plane before takeoff. Screaming "Go plane go!". His mum was confident that he would stop once the plane took off, but instead, the plane taxied back to the gate and the two were escorted off.

Now I don't agree with this at all. We've all been on planes with screaming kids, but they're just being kids. It's really bloody annoying, but they're being kids and personally, I've always understood that. The mum is embarrassed already, so an understanding smile and a nod is the best thing in the world for her. The kid will stop eventually. Kicking them off was a bit ridiculous.

That's the thing with airlines though, they can treat you pretty much anyway they want because you have to fly.

They got their compensation with an added plus.

No damage done except the dent in the airlines image.

This is a lot of kinds of bullshit.

It's just a kid crying, on an airplane.
Have these people really never heard a kid doing this before?

Christ, when I fly, I have to deal with worse bullshit than this everytime, but the people that cause it don't get booted off the fucking airplane.
I mean, fuck, that was just unfair.

Lol, I voted yes, although they should have taken different measures rather than delaying flights and wasting time. Especially for the mother.

They should have just knocked out that kid.

Well I'm glad somebody agrees. Kids will be kids. People need to learn to live with that instead of being such self-centred pricks. I hate it when people on planes yell at some poor mum because she can't quiet her child. It's not her fault and she's already really embarrassed about something that's beyond her control.

Logically thinking it was unsafe because the passengers said they couldn't hear the safety announcements, but it probably took longer to taxi back and drop them off than it would to take the kid to the back or something so people could hear, the kid would have calmed down. That is logic, but I think the kid should have been dropped off at the tarmac.

They should do that in fucking restaurants too. Can't beat your kid's ass, then we kick the both of you out.

Hell yes. That's the best thing to do if all else fails.

I agree wholeheartedly with this decision by the airlines to kick the two off, and I'm a bit disappointed that they offered an apology/travel voucher.

First, if the child is being so loud that the passengers cannot hear the safety instructions, then the child is endangering everyone on the flight. I know most of the safety instructions are common-sense, but they serve to remind people how to act during an emergency.

Secondly, the "kids will be kids" argument just takes the blame off of the parents for not doing their job. The mother should have either raised her child better (I can understand if the kid was 3 months old, but at 2 years the child should know better than to throw a tantrum - come on, mom) or should know her child's bratty behavior well enough to not take him onto an airplane.

Some might argue that it is unfair to the parent to not allow her to fly simply because her child is a brat - but it's HER brat and she took on those consequences when she didn't raise him properly. When a parent says"be quiet", its time to be quiet.

So parents - if you screw up and raise a tantrum-throwing little brat, then keep him out of our restaurants, airplanes, movie theaters, malls and stores. Maybe if this mother starts now, she can turn the kid's behavior around and have a decent child by the time he is 4. Then she would be graciously allowed back into public society.

That is pretty stupid, I've been on planes with kids throwing shit all over the place and everyone turning a blind eye, I guess the cabin crew was just having a bad day.

To be honest, I was expecting a story involving a kid literally being thrown off a moving plane, but whatever.

Well that fucking sucks. I mean it's a child being a child, so there's no reason for that too happen. Although why they do that now, is retarded, since I've been on planes with millions of children crying. Fucking stupid thing to do.

I see where you're coming from. But you obviously have never lived with a 2 year old. Parenting doesn't matter. You can be the best parent in the world and your two year old will still throw the worst tantrums you can imagine. It's just what they do. Parenting doesn't effect it.

Yeah, I feel like kicking them in the goddamn teeth when they cuss people out like that.
If you don't have kids, fuck off and don't tell parents what to do unless it's obviously stupid or abusive.
Not being able to shut up a baby isn't stupid or abusive, it's something almost nobody can really help.

Also, I've learned how to tune out babies yelling or crying from the days that I used to go to church with my family, but I haven't learned quite how to tune out stupid selfish bastards that bitch and moan about things they can't change.

You don't hear me complaining about the fat smelly guy next to me, or that old lady two rows ahead that won't stop farting, nor that stupid little fucking brat that moved his seat all the way back and is crushing my knees, so I think having a baby somewhat near you just at the start of the flight occasionally making noise like little kids do is pretty fucking minor. Fucking shut up and put on some noise resistant headphones or something when you can.
