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

Anybody wonder what else the public won't see? I know that just about everyone on this forum saw a story about XJet. What did John Q Public see on the news? Continental Airlines. The only clue that it was XJet was when the reporter said "... Continental Express Jet...". Obvious to us, but not to everyone.

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.

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.

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.

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?
