The short version is:

A 3 yrd old girl was acting like a brat and refused to sit down in the seat. Spineless parents just tried "reasoning" with the child to come out from underneath the seat and sit down. Plane can't pull away from the terminal until ALL passengers are seated and belted per FAA regs. This goes on for 15 mins. Meanwhile the flight is being delayed while the parents still try to "reason" with the brat to come out and sit down. She won't. Flight attendants tell child and parents they have to get off. They refund their money and give them free tickets for a later date.

They go on Good Morning America with "child expert" who says that's "normal 3 yrd behavior" and therefore Airtran was wrong to ask them to get off.

YAY!!!... thats awesome... I worked for them for 6 yrs.. what a great job that was!

and to discuss...

I cant stand when a parent will sit there and beg for their child to behave... its like the child has control over the parent.. pisses me off , either you mind or you get your ass spanked.. simple as that

[Repost Squintz]

airtran was in the right. People shouldn't have to be late cause parents can't get their kids straight, and acting right.

[man]

Awesome!

[ironchef]

Airtran perfectly in the right imo. I know If i was on that flight and that pos didn't sit down and I had places to be, I damn well wouldve gotten their ass kicked out ASAP.

[Jimmy B]

Air tran did NOTHING wrong.. parents should have pulled(ie forcefully) the kid from under the seat, and sat her down in the chair, and then wore her butt out when they got to teh destinitaion

[Jaimecbr900]

It seems so basic and elementary to all of us, right?

Why is it that they got to do the talk show circuit to COMPLAIN???

Let's get this straight: YOUR child is disrupting a flight of over 100 people. YOU don't do squat cause you're a liberal hippie and think that a 3 yr old that's throwing a TANTRUM is going to "listen" to reason. YOU get YOUR money back, PLUS they give you free tickets to fly later......Yet YOU go on talk shows to COMPLAIN????

I may just have to PLAN to do something like this with my kids. I'd get to fly for FREE then.....

What gets me is all the PC sissies are all whining and complaining about the AIRLINE.....not one of them ever looked in the direction of the parents....???

I would've stood up and cheered if it were my flight....

[Leisa]

me too Jaime... clapped as loud as I could..lol

[Brett]

I wouldnt have given them a free ticket though, Maybe a refund, But hell no to a free ticket, Parents these days feel thier kids should do whatever they want when they want, they dont take control of thier kids, and this is why they are as fucked up as they are.

[Mike Lowrey]

to Airtran

Would not have given the free ticket, just the refund.

[Rabunchic]

I would have pulled her from under that seat buckeled up and waitied til I could have taken her to the bathroom and dealt with her there!

[Brett]

Hell with that, Beat the kids ass IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, that way the kid gets totally embarassed and knows next time its gonna be in front of a crowd

[The Ninja]

^^ +1 for you sir.

[Brett]

Im all for making a kid feel like a spectacle, that will teach them next time behave your self or your ass will get beat in front of everyone, hell with taking the child to a hidden spot where the kid will forget it 5 minutes after

[Jaimecbr900]

Just like it's being discussed in the other thread, some people honestly feel that spanking is wrong.

Maybe if THEY were spanked when they were young......they would think clearly now......

[Brett]

My ass got spanked when I acted up, so I knew when I was about to do wrong, I better think twice or pay the price.

[The Ninja]

Same here. But us black folk don't call it "spanking" we call it getting "beat" but u kno. Its not like really getting -beat- (punches, kicks, etc.) its another word for whoopin or spanking. We had this debate in my current issues class, and it was a larger amount of people than I thought that honestly believed that spanking was wrong.

[Brett]

They are the liberal pansy ass folks

[05Tib]

anyone ever get told to go pick the branch out of the tree you were going to get spanked with? yeah... and on rainy days we had a paddle my dad drilled holes in so there would be no way for air to take away from the impact

[Ran]

I cant stand when a parent will sit there and beg for their child to behave... its like the child has control over the parent.. pisses me off , either you mind or you get your ass spanked.. simple as that

Then the parents go to jail for child abuse.

[Jaimecbr900]

THAT is exactly why this country is stuck spinning it's wheels sometimes.

Too often kids will regurgitate what their liberal chicken shit parents preach at home. So they go on living in this fantasy world where all 3 yr olds can carry on a logical rational conversation with their parents while they are throwing a tantrum for a new toy......

A family is not a free society democracy. There is a time and a place for everyone. The PARENTS determine when that time and place is, not the kids. What the hell do THEY know about being a parent, paying bills, having responsabilities, etc??? What??? They don't know jack crap. We all know that. Just like we know that 99.9% of 18 yr olds don't know jack about being grown, cause 99,9% of them aren't fully cooked yet. When they get to be 30 or 40, they too will look at 18 yr olds the same way....they don't know shit. Why should we treat children like adults then? They NEED discipline, structure, right/wrong, consequences......what do they grow up to be without that??? POLITICIANS........ JP.

[Mike Lowrey]

Then the parents go to jail for child abuse.

Its not child abuse. Its called parenting. Too many people today who "claim" to be parents have forgotten or do not understand this.

[Ran]

Yeah, I know that but now you can hardly even yell at your kids without getting in trouble.

[Jaimecbr900]

Yeah, I know that but now you can hardly even yell at your kids without getting in trouble.

And that's the reason why we have so many 13 yr olds taking guns to schools and shooting people, having babies, talking about emancipation, talking about "rights".......My kids have 2 "rights".....to breathe and eat.....everything else is a gift.....

Exacty!


LOL @ 2 rights.

[4dmin]

BS airtran should of only given them a refund and escorted them from the plane since they can't control their child. They are in the service business to fly 10,000s of people daily not babysit

BRING BACK BEATING YOUR KIDS!!! my mom did it look at me i'm perfectly normal

[The Ninja]

I doubt I would have even given a refund if I were Airtran. Then again I would given a refund to all the other passengers for having to endure such stupidity. I'd ban the parents from the airline.

+1 to AIRTRAN!

[HEATON]

HAHA.. Part of my job deals with loading troops on a civilian aircraft, and sometimes we have extra seats for families to fly back to the states.. I know if that shit happen to me, Id yell at the kid and yank them up by the arm, strap them in, slap them then tell everyone to have a nice flight...


Leisa, what did you do with AirTran? I am thinking of working for the civilian airlines when I get out. Basically I have all the training from working the ticket counter to security to ground teams, any advice? Thanx.

[civic95]

I don't think anyone under 10 should be allowed on an airplane. Sure as hell would make flying a lot better. Go ahead and apply it to movie theaters too.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[Hulud]

fuck those people and fuck their goddamn greedy motherfucking lawyer

i hope the whole family dies in a fucking car wreck

[ShooterMcGavin]

damn, wish i were on that flight, i would've bitchslapped all 3 of them and called it a day

[RandomGuy]

lol you can already tell these were white people, even though its not even mentioned LOL

only white people "reason" with their kids... everyone else gets their ass beat...

shit if that were me, i woulda fuckin tazed the child and make him/her ride in the baggage department for the rest of the flight for acting up LIRL

[2.0civic]

assbeating FTMFW....


reminds me of a justinsane post with the cord and the shoe lol

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

I think they were in the right as well... AirTran would have had numerous complaints on their hands otherwise.. I'm sure the other people on the plane were very happy with their decision...

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

BRING BACK BEATING YOUR KIDS!!! my mom did it look at me i'm perfectly normal

Define normal. lol
