Re: United outlines changes to make flying "friendly" again

As far as boarding YES you board the front first then middle then the back this way you have no passenger in 38-A placing his or her bag above seat 12-A You ensure each section is seated and bags stowed before next section touches the plane. BUSTED !!! :blush: That was what I used to do. I'd put my...

Re: United outlines changes to make flying "friendly" again

The initial list of changes was always likely to be modest. The real test is what they change in 3 months, 6 months, a year and multiple years in the future. Broken culture isn't changed with a few new policies. If they are serious it will need to be a sustained effort. Personally I'd prefer a mode...

Re: Delta's Turn: Pax removed from plane

Inside Edition had clips of Kima Hamilton being interviewed about his ordeal on their program which aired this afternoon. That clip was not up on their YT Channel yet. From the WSJ article: Kima Hamilton "I don't normally pee right before I get on the plane, and I've never had a problem like th...

Re: Delta's Turn: Pax removed from plane

I have question. When passengers are asked to deboard, to then reboard the plane, as was the case with this Delta flight, are the passengers required to take all of the carryon items with them, or are they allowed to leave them on the plane, and this up to the flight crew, or is this a regulation??

Re: Delta's Turn: Pax removed from plane

In all my flying, I can never remember being seated, waiting for takeoff, that I had to urgently go to the restroom. If this guy was so "full of piss" that he couldn't hold it any longer, then it's really on him, that he (1) drank that much liquid before takeoff, and (2) didn't take a quic...

Re: SEAT Law coming?

Ultimately, what it comes down to is the enduring question that I'm still waiting for someone to answer - if a passenger freely and voluntarily wishes to purchase a basic ticket with little or no amenities, minimal legroom, minimal carry-on allowance, etc., why should someone else be able to tell t...

Re: AA Employee Allegedly Hit Mom with Stroller, Challeneges 2nd Passeneger to "Hit Me"

I thought the female FA (the one handing the distressed passenger a cup of water), showed real grace under pressure in that whole incident. She did not jump on the bandwagon of piling on the passenger, or lose her cool. Kudos to her !!!!

Re: AA Employee Allegedly Hit Mom with Stroller, Challeneges 2nd Passeneger to "Hit Me"

So when will the airlines ban the filming of any an board activity? Just add it to the CoC and no one be able to fight it. Tugg Can see it happening because "terrorism" and "security". :banghead: AA policy already prohibits recording employees. That being, said it's virtually un...

Re: AA Employee Allegedly Hit Mom with Stroller, Challeneges 2nd Passeneger to "Hit Me"

Buying a ticket does not entitle people to be right. The customer is not always right - sorry. However, a good organization chooses to either let the customer be right or to help them understand why they are wrong. Most people on both sides of that equation can deal with that. Some - a few - on eit...

Re: AA Employee Allegedly Hit Mom with Stroller, Challeneges 2nd Passeneger to "Hit Me"

I used to work for AA and if I remember rightly the AA training manual said that you couldn't fly the company's airplanes without permission, but it didn't say anything about not hitting mothers with strollers. Maybe they should put that in there. Right... there needs to be a "Cabin Stroller E...

Re: AA Employee Allegedly Hit Mom with Stroller, Challeneges 2nd Passeneger to "Hit Me"

Jeff do you think the AA Employee charging towards the passenger and telling him to "hit me" did not put the AA Employee in the wrong? The agent was wrong, but the male passenger was also wrong for wanting to start a fight. I know it can be hard to stay out of a situation like that especi...

What's the Problem ???

Re: AA Employee Allegedly Hit Mom with Stroller, Challeneges 2nd Passeneger to "Hit Me"

Without the passenger saying he'd attack the crew member, this video goes nowhere. But, the alpha male, did not give the FA a direct threat of imminent action, like "hey bud, I am going to kick your ass." He said "IF, you did that to me, then I'd do such and such." It was a cond...

Re: AA Employee Allegedly Hit Mom with Stroller, Challeneges 2nd Passeneger to "Hit Me"

I agree with you. We do not know the full story. Maybe the AA employees were in the wrong, or maybe they weren't. The male passenger made a difficult situation much worse then what it was. If I had been an AA employee I would have immediately had him ejected from the flight and turned him over to l...

Adding to what VRYing said.... http://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1361153&start=50#p19492501 I think it's high time for all F/A and gate agents to wear body cameras, in order to film the beginning of these escalations, since all we get are the tail ends, when everyone is acti...
