FULL TITLE: 'Hit me!' The shocking moment an American Airlines flight attendant challenges a passenger to a FIGHT after 'hitting a crying mother in struggle over her baby's stroller'
A shocking video has emerged showing an American Airlines employee challenging a passenger to a fight after allegedly hitting a woman with a stroller on a domestic flight.
The upsetting footage, filmed shortly before Flight 591 departed from San Francisco on Friday afternoon, shows the airline employee goading a passenger and saying, 'hit me'.
The clip was uploaded by passenger Surain Adyanthaya, who explained he started filming after the flight attendant 'violently took a stroller from a lady with her baby on my flight, hitting her and just missing the baby'.
Adyanthaya went on to explain: 'They just in-voluntarily escorted the mother and her kids off the flight and let the flight attendant back on, who tried to fight other passengers. The mom asked for an apology and the AA official declined.'
In the video, a woman is seen standing at the front of the airplane as she is holding a child in her arms.

Why the defense of this faggy-looking puffball?
I can tell you flat out this passenger guy is an ahole. I see his type quite often during business travel. Looks like a typical loudmouth northeastern democrat. He is just as likely to act like this toward a woman, as he did toward this gay employee of AA - just hasn’t been caught on video.
I can assure you I would gladly get in this passenger’s face at a moments notice, because I’ve done it before when his type decides to berate some other victim. Bully’s like him are usually easy to have their bluff called.
We will just have to disagree here. You see something different than I do in this video.
I submit that the appropriate response of the man in uniform representing his company should be something in the line of “Sir, that was an unfortunate accident, I am sorry for the distress I caused her, her children and the passengers, now please sit down as we prepare the plane for take off. If that didn’t diffuse the situation and the male passenger did not resume his seat, then the male passenger should have been booted off the flight.
I understand the pilots response, both guys were displaying school ground behavior at some level. I bet the pilot read the FA the riot act in private. It truly is the FA’s job to defuse situations, not ramp them up.
The woman was emotional hauling twins around and I understand that
The bald fag attendant
Issues
What a surprise
Problem is air travel is overcrowded
Young people don’t realize how it used to be a fun even elegant experience
Wasn’t cheep though
Baldie seemed to think he was in charge. I thought pilots outranked flight attendants.
“Young people don’t realize how it used to be a fun even elegant experience”
Do you know how many older people tell me this!!
Same words you used too. “Elegant”.
I agree wholeheartedly but you left off the other half of the old school
Women were expected to act a certain way in accordance
Trust today at least in school when boys and girls conflict
The school sided with the girl
Any issue
Schools are run by angry feminists who see girls as victims as they see themselves but at the same time they are encouraged to provoke and be loud albeit with no consequence in a perfect world
It’s inadvertently led to boorishness all around
I think the mom is emotional in the video but not at fault
We have three boys in school
Any issues the boys get blamed
Girls tattle and gossip and start crap but if boys react and just simply yell back then it’s about their anger
Not the girl
Hey it’s kinda like marriage lol
I just had an epiphany
Good one, however considering what we know of the Steward we need a little more limp wrist on that man.
There's Club Class at United and Stroller Class at American.
If chivalry to you means protecting the gay flight attendant against the mean ol’ hetero protecting a mother and child, then yes, we shall have to disagree.
It’s “likely” you are queer.
I dunno, I find there is something particularly bitchy about SF flight crews. I’m not being snarky, I fly a lot and it is really noticeable.
Like I said, his type gets in the face of women too. Guess you just like wimpy bullies that pick on little gay guys because they know they will get their ass kicked if they pick on a real man.
Yes, and I hope they see both of my middle fingers when my arms are up in the air as I stand there like a criminal.
It seemed like they might have been continuing a previous conversation that had not ended well. My sense is the employee was feeling very defensive and threatened. Now possibly because he knew his actions were indefensible ...but also possibly because he was afraid of being mob-judged...which seems a very reasonable fear these days. But this is speculative. Another story was saying that the woman had gotten permission from one employee to try to find overhead room for the stroller, but that the guy went onto the plane and yanked it away from her.
You seem to take an interest in psychology. Was your mom a bit controlling and overbearing?
Watch the video again and learn something about how a man reacts to a woman and children being abused. This guy sprung into action instead of consulting the rule book or dialing 911. He did the right thing - he diverted the attack from the woman and her children to himself. He did it without caring about what others thought. He acted, and in this case, he acted alone - because the rest of the men on the flight were like you. Hapless beta-males appealing to some faulty model on how to be a man - perhaps learned from playing too many video games.
No, watch and learn. Then when you are faced with a situation where those more vulnerable than you are being abused - you can spring into action like this guy - and do the right thing.
Don’t let the world control you! Go out and do good. Seize the day and do right. Break the rules when the rules are wrong. Damn the torpedoes and do what is necessary to protect those that need your intervention.
Watch and learn. If you can’t do that, you’re pathetic.
We are just going to see this differently. If I had been on the plane I would have gotten in his face and told him to shut up and get back in his seat, so he doesn’t end up delaying the whole flight.
I fly much more than most people and see guys like this all the time. They shout at the female staff and other female passengers the same way he did this tiny gay guy. They are always looking to try to intimidate people. Doesn’t work with me - I am not a sheep and don’t tolerate boorish behavior like this. You may like to shut up and stay quiet around bullies based on your posts to me, but I don’t.

To find the “abuse” and “attack” to which you refer, I just watched the video again -— twice. I did not see “a woman and children being abused” I did not see an “attack” to be “diverted”. What I saw were several polite and calm female flight attendants trying to console and calm down a hysterical woman. They seemed to be having some success until your HEROIC FIGURE started the action following which the woman could be heard starting to accelerate her wailing again.
On the video, THERE WAS NO ATTACK ON THE WOMAN FOR YOUR HERO TO AVERT. You are only seeing such an attack in your mind, IMHO.
There is no question she was abused by the flight attendant. Witness descriptions state as much.
Watch the video and learn how a man responds to a woman being abused.
Or be your normal beta male self and ignore it, and let real men take charge whenever a situation calls for something important to be done.
Or be a Clinton and rest your argument on semantic ambiguity.
If you don’t see that this was a man doing what needed to be done, then you can audition to be Caitlyn Jenner’s boyfriend, because that’s about all you are good for.
Step aside buddy. Real men will do the important work that you are unwilling or unqualified to do.
My post #178 was calm, impersonal & rational. Your post #179 is personal, irrational & insulting. For all I know, your comments may just reflect the inner demons tormenting your soul. I have no interest in learning anything more about you or your views.
