Do not take crap anymore. There are polite ways to handle things. Think about a few of them before you leave your house, because when confronted with the problem, you'll wish you said more, or may not say it correctly. DON'T get mad. Get your point across. (Think Ann Coulter - it won't come out that way, but you'll be succinct ;-)
Times must be tough! What is Ivana doing on a commercial flight?! She’s really lowered herself.
Did she also pay cash with no passport?
I’m with you 100% I remember first-class flight on which rowdy children of off-duty flight attendant ran wild while on-duty attendants chatted with their colleague. It was not very pleasant.
I would have liked to have seen that. I’m surprised no cell phone photos or videos have surfaced.
I saw her on TV the other day after the incident, and I wouldnt have known who she was. Plastic surgery has destroyed her face.
I have no problem with her asking the kids to be quiet. my only thought is that if it were any ordinary citizen , would we have been turned loose so soon, without bail?
Sounds like Ivana and several other posters could benefit from Anger management or a 12-step program, or both.
homeland security finds a suspicious traveller.
“I think I’ve seen her photo somewhere...”
Nothing against you first-class elites but I’d say that Ivana would have been equally justified if she’d been riding in coach (with me)!
Hey, it’s crowded back there and more stressed. I don’t think a civilized environment should be an extra reserved for first class.
Somebody should remove the (non)attending adults — if there were any — and also the cabin crew who should have addressed the problem before Ivana had to. Then the little monsters should be put on the no-fly list for a couple of years.
She has two ex-husband's! I find it hard to believe she doesn't have her own jet and personal pilot!;)
No doubt wearing her burkha again!
I tried that in one situation, Nordy. The grandmother let the child scream t/o the store - didn’t phase her. People were *ticked* and store management wasn’t doing squat. I finally walked up to the woman and shared in a loud voice (to be heard over the child) that she should quiet the child ... to which the grandmother pinched the little child and said to scream louder. Then she laughed.
Unreal.
LOL. Thanks.
On one hand, if you’re going to yell F-bombs at the other passengers’ kids, the flight crew and the deputies, you’re probably going off the plane in cuffs.
On the other hand...an airplane aisle is not a playground.

“DON’T get mad. Get your point across.”
Good advice.
I agree. Perhaps the parents and their ill-mannered little squelps should have been removed instead.
..children of an off-duty flight attendant....

Ah, for the good old days of flight.
The stewardesses were always gorgeous, citizens could carry weapons, and all was well.
About the time they started restricting weapons, people decided they wanted to go to Cuba and the whole plane went with a person trying to stop the fleer likely to get in more trouble for attempting to stop him.
Then the stewardesses became flight attendants and age and weight restrictions were considered discriminatory.
And the rest is history while a handful of people with box cutters were allowed to commandeer airplanes while the sheeple just sat there, thinking every thing was fine...
