Baby Benadryl

Yesterday I read an article about the mom that was booted from the plane because her 19 month old son was babbling. I have read and re-read the article. I have tried my best to comprehend what and why this happened. I have no rationale explanation. Maybe the flight attendant was having a bad day. Maybe her boyfriend of 5 years broke up with her just that morning and told her that he was getting married this Saturday. It doesn't really matter what her issue was, she was out of order. When you take a job that serves people, that is what you are to do and not become manipulative to get your way. Okay so not only did she put the lady off the plane but she told the pilot the lady threatened her. I mean really is that what it has come down to? That if a flight attendant doesn't like a passenger then they can cry " She threatened me" and get them booted off? Where are the passengers rights? What ensures that we are going to get the service we payed for?

Oh and I almost forgot... I know as a parent who had three small children there were times you wanted to give your child something to knock them out so you could get some sleep. But I be dog gone that flight attendant told that mother to give her child some baby Benadryl. I think that mother held it together better then me.

  1. I totally agree with you. What happened to passengers rights? I think that most people forget that before service comes customer. What goes around comes around and surly she will be in a situation where she will get the same service she gave
