What kind of idiot brings a BABY STROLLER into the passenger section of an airliner?

[ShootSpeeders]

Yep, she's got the same lawyer that Dr. Dao hired. Hahahahaaa!

Dao has a legitimate complaint. But this bitch was in the wrong all the way. Her "argument" seems to be "i'm a woman and that means i get special treatment".

Yes, she was told she could bring it because it folded down. And she was folding it down and looking for a place in the OVERHEAD storage bins when the crazed faggot attacked her because she wasn't moving fast enough, I guess.

Hey einstein - it's like this. Don't bring guns or pianos or baby strollers on an airplane.

Except for the fact that if you want to bring a stroller for your kid, United says, that is OK. They tell you it is OK to bring your kid's stroller. Do they also say that about guns and pianos?

I once had to wrangle a duffle type suitcase/bag/dealio into the overhead... damn thing had the girth and weight of a baby hippo and it began to look similar to a MMA fight. I think those in the back were making bets. On that flight was a woman with a youngster and about 6 month old twins. She had a collapsible stroller that the attendant helped her with. The kid was about five or six and gave me PTSD. If she were mine, I'd of duct taped that heathen from mouth to toes into the seat.

Yes, well, among frequent travelers of a certain age and bearing, I think there's something of an unwritten code/commandment to which we all adhere. Call it an "understanding" or "commitment" if you want. Whatever you call it, the fact is that when unruly children's parents fail to exert due control over their kid during a flight, someone else has to. I've done it. I've seen others do it.

There's no specific action to take; what to do depends on the situation, the child and the parent(s). Most often, the thing that I've found that works best is to simply greet the child and ask him/her what's wrong that they can't sit still of keep the volume down. Nine of ten times, just doing that gets the job done, most especially when the child observes their parent not rejecting our "offer" of assistance. I think, perhaps, a "wave" of "oh, sh*t" enters their mind and they determine that while their parents will let them get away with "whatever it is they are doing," there are others on the plane who will not.

I've had multiple parents thank, me and tell me that the kid was afraid of me after I spoke to them. I just reply "You're welcome. It's probably good they fear someone. I don't mind it being me, as long as it keeps them in their seat and speaking at a 'normal' volume." On other occasions, I've "bribed" parents with a variety of things, usually cocktails, but I have used money ($50 or $100, depending on which bill I have in my pocket) delivered at the end of flight and other things. Whatever tack I use, I just know I'm not going to sit on a plane for hours on end and make no effort to get that child back to a state of "calm." Neither am I going to sit idly by while some hooligan with inept parents runs up and down the aisles, especially in the ones of the cabin section I'm in.

Yeah but duct tape will calm them too

Duct tape fixes all sorts of things. I just don't generally have any when I'm on a plane. LOL

What kind of idiot brings a BABY STROLLER into the passenger section of an airliner?

Any kind. Pick one.

Where the hell did she have to go using a stroller while on an airplane?

Maybe she had drugs stored inside the structure of the stroller and was freaking out over the dogs perhaps noticing? Who the hell knows what was going on in the flaccid mind of that melodramatic coccygodynia?

What's wrong with bringing a stroller on board?

Traveling with children & while pregnant - Special assistance - American Airlines

Traveling with children & while pregnant - Special assistance - American Airlines

Strollers

Each ticketed customer is allowed 1 stroller. Only small, collapsible and light strollers (up to 20lbs/9kgs) can be checked at the gate. Any stroller that weighs over 20lbs/9 kgs, is too large or is non−collapsible must be checked at the ticket counter.

Customers are allowed 1 stroller and 1 car seat per ticketed passenger. Both items may be checked at the ticket counter or one item can be checked at the gate and one at the counter. These items are checked at no charge, when traveling with a child or to adopt.

Well now, looks like that flight attendant was completely out of bounds.

checked at the gate

What they do is "gate check" the thing. When the plane lands, the stroller, along with other gate checked items are brought to the jetway for passengers to retrieve them. The items arrive in the jetway before even the first class passengers can exit the plane. Gate checked items stay in the hold during the flight.

I stand corrected, thanks.

thanks.

You're welcome.

 

[westwall]

The flight attendant deserved to be sacked. He acted like a complete asshole.

So what about the mother.? Did she have a right to bring the baby stroller with her? THINK

Yes, she did. A different flight attendant had told her that if the stroller collapsed down small enough it could go into an overhead bin. You truly are an asshole aren't you.

 

[westwall]

You are not thinking.

shitspeeders CAN'T think. The mother was fully within her rights to request the stroller be placed into an overhead bin based on info she got from a different flight attendant.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Yep, she's blonde.

I'm also blonde, so....you're wanting to start trouble huh?

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Re this latest American Airlines customer flap. The brainless bimbo might as well have tried to bring an upright piano with her. The flight attendants were right to stop her.

And then the brainless bimbo stands there crying like women always do in a crisis while they wait for a man to step in and help them!!! That guy who threatened the attendant should be prosecuted.

American Airlines investigates after video shows mom in tears - CNN.com

From that video the flight attendant was completely out of order, the man who threatened to punch him should be awarded a medal....because men who hit women are the lowest form of bottom feeder.

Her argument is that she has a right not to get hit across the head by a bottom feeder flight attendant, he obviously has an issue with women.

[SavannahMann]

I posted a link to the prohibited items. A Stroller wasn't there. .

Was a helicopter on the list? How about a car transmission?. Everybody knows only an idiot brings a baby stroller onto a plane. THINK

An idiot? How about a parent. Think you idiot.

You can take a transmission on the plane. Providing it is small enough to fit the size restrictions. The helicopters would have to go in the cargo bay as checked luggage since they have electronics in them. Of course it would have to be disassembled to fit and would cost a small fortune.

I posted the policy that said it was allowed. You petulantly stomp your foot and ignore it. This proves you live in your mothers basement since you operate under the impression that if you don't like it then it is illegal.

wtf, you use a stroller to contain a small child while you are carrying another.

Have you ever been on a commercial airplane?

I sure as fuck have, and with kids.

Then you are aware that there's not room in the cabin for a stroller and it cannot be left in the aisle.

No, I'm not aware of that. Because I know the size of umbrella handled strollers, and the precise size that is allowed in the cabin.

Moron.

"...the lightweight gb Pockit is the world's smallest folding stroller - 12" x 7" x 20", to be precise. In only two steps, this stroller folds down into a handbag-shaped package that weighs less than 11 lbs."

Amazon.com : gb Pockit Stroller, Monument Black : Baby

American Airlines (AA) allows 1 carry-on bag and 1 personal item (purse, briefcase, laptop bag) per passenger fee free. Carry-on should not exceed the following size and weight restrictions: 45 linear inches (22 x 14 x 9 in) or 115 centimeters (56 x 36 x 23 cm) including handles and wheels.

Stroller is 39 linear inches.

Insofar as the context of this conversation is American Airlines' flight personnel disallowing the stroller in the passenger cabin, why are you sharing with us that there exists a stroller that can fold down to "nothing?" Okay there is made such a stroller. Thank you for informing us that innovation, for, among other things, it means we now know that it's possible to have a stroller that can fit in one of a few "personal" storage spaces "allotted" to each passenger.

Now what? Perhaps it merely makes you feel good to identify for us an aspect of 21st century stroller design? Just what are you going to share that gives germanity, in this thread's context, to that fact? I ask because unless you have something to offer other than the abstraction you've connected to the fact that at least one kind of stroller can be folded to "fit in a purse" proportions [1], I don't see what difference it makes, contextually, whether we know the "Pockit Stroller" exists. I don't because American Airlines has published it's stroller policy.

There are probably several ways, each having various degrees of rigor, to do that, and I'm curious to see which you pursue. I do know that if the "now what" entails advancing the notion that the passenger was not "off her rocker" (that was the inference of my original remarks on the matter) for making so much ado about being required to gate check her stroller, step one is to establish existentially the first fact pattern noted in the bullet points below.

• Are you going to show that such a stroller (or one roughly similar) is the one the passenger had, offered to fold the stroller "down to nothing," and was yet forced to gate check it?
• Are you going to share that passenger was justified in wanting to have her child's stroller in the passenger cabin on account of the woman's inability to carry or escort the child to the restroom?
• Perhaps you are going to share with us Pockit Stroller are as ubiquitous as air and everyone who has a child has one?
• (Other things you might offer to give topical relevance to the information you shared.)

Is that a long way of saying "so what?" Yes, it is. But were I to have just said, "So what?" You wouldn't have understood why. You may still not understand, but at least I tried to avert to zero or minimize the odds of that being so.

Note:

1. I don't know who women think they are fooling. If you've been on an airplane at all, you've surely seen some women board with a bag that's about the size and has the carrying capacity of a child's suitcase. In those women's minds, that bag is their purse. Now were I to board the plane carrying such a bag and my laptop bag and my piece of carry-on luggage, the flight attendant absolutely would require that I check one of them.
   
   Now, as a practical matter of the airlines making it be so (and the fact that I don't book flights on planes that don't have first or business class), I only ever fly in first/business class, so they'd gate check it rather than "check it through to baggage claim." It wouldn't bother me that they do so, for the stuff in the "gate checked" section of the hold arrives at my destination at the same time I do.
   
   I haven't seen flight attendants in the U.S. deem those "jumbo purses" as a piece of luggage, but outside the U.S., I most certainly have. (That I haven't seen it doesn't mean I think or know it doesn't happen. It means exactly what I wrote.) It may be U.S. airline personnel do too on "commuter jet" and smaller craft. Occasionally, I charter a flight between D.C. and a resort I go to that has its own airstrip. The pilot is very strict about the total weight of the "stuff" I bring onboard, but he doesn't care about anything other than the total weight and that it can be safely stowed and transported on the plane.

This thread only proves- yet again - what a low-life POS the OP is.

I say if you've got duct tape, ww-40 and a screw driver you can fix the world

Well, I probably wouldn't be able to conceive of safe and effective ways to use WD-40 or a screwdriver to calm a distressed or unruly child on an airplane. Entirely or in part achieving that end by sussing conventional or novel uses of duct tape, however, is something I'd definitely pursue were I to have duct tape at the time. I've written that to sort of be funny, but I'm also serious insofar as I'd definitely think about it, and minimally I'd offer the tape to a kid's parents so they can use it to retrain and squelch the little f*cker.

Hell, if the kid is three or younger, duct tape is probably an excellent solution option, for no matter how much the kid won't like being taped quiet and in place, in a few years, it won't even remember that it happened. You, I and the kid's parents, on the other hand, will remember that it worked and know from that point on to never leave home not only without one's Amex card, but also duct tape. LOL

I've seen boogie boards, bicycles and a variety of other things carried on. The stroller broke down to specs, that's why she had it. Dumbass attendants didn't know it broke down and acted like baby killing, woman hating faggots.

As an aside, male gays don't intrinsically hate women. They simply don't especially want to f*ck or wed them. All things considered, that's probably a good thing for women and gay men, regardless of its impact on other members of society.
