i can't say what really happened here from the links - but as a rule of thumb i have to side with the family in this case on general principle. for me to feel comfortable advocating turning a plane around and removing a family, on father's day weekend, this kid would have had to be strapped with c4, spontaneously excreting and puking, singing 'spice girls' lyrics through a portable kareoke machine...something.
in my experience...flying these days sucks for everyone involved. it's uncomfortable, people are pushed up on you the whole time. your flight is delayed, you have to switch gates...the chick next to you is reading some odd religious text in large print and wants to talk about it, the guy on the other side is wider than all outside and keeps putting his sweaty elbows up on you. kids behind you are kicking the seat, old lady in front of you smells like rotten cabbage and has protruding nose hair...and needs to shave a little on her upper lip. maybe i'm a weirdo, but i tend to rather feel like if everyone just chills the fuck out and doesn't get too pissy with each other, everyone pulls through this thing easier and faster.
i don't really expect flying to be like a handjob in a 5-star hotel. i just expect it to get me where i'm going. i know that it's going to be a pain in the ass before i walk into the airport. if i was on this flight, i might have been annoyed by the kid. sure.
i would have been much much more annoyed by the flight attendant turning the plane around and showing her ass. I would have demanded a refund from the airline too. fuck them. it would be like going to the dentist, getting jacked up on nitrous, having the novacaine injected, just getting started with the filling (after a 4 hr wait or so reading 'reader's digest')...then having the dentist and the attendant get into a fight because the attendant doesn't like my 'antrax rulz' t-shirt and she refuses to help the dentist, and so i have to go back to the waiting room until another attendant is available and i can change t-shirts. its just fucking unprofessional. as a professional, you deal with the fucking public if that's your job.
i guess i find it difficult to understand the sanctimonious attitude of some of you. i can understand you being annoyed by someone's behavior. so fucking what? i don't understand expecting everyone else to give a shit because you're annoyed - and certainly not enough to fuck up everyone else's day so you can get satisfaction for your pet peeve. if traveling in comfort is really that important to you, i suggest you avoid public transportation in coach.
