Sounds like the attendant was already confrontational.
Meth?
She should work for United.
He
video suggests the passenger was the confrontational one.
She had already (allegedly) been hit with the stroller by the time the video is rolling.
A grown man punching a woman in the face.
Nice.
Typical arrogant airline employee.
some folks need a good old fashioned southern ass whippin..
I bet that hurt...
That might explain the crying, but not why she expected to be able to keep the stroller.
depends on the meaning of the word “with”
>>I watched the video and something’s wrong. First, people always have to check a stroller when boarding a plane. Why she thought she could demand to keep the stroller makes no sense to me. Second, why is she so upset about not having the stroller? It’s not like she’s going to go on a long walk. I have absolutely no reason to say this, other than the degree to which she’s upset, but I wonder if she’s a mule and there are drugs stashed in the stroller. (She’s traveling to South America...Venezuela I think.)<<
Yes I saw it too and noted the same. I have no idea why the woman was crying and I am AMAZED the macho-man clearly drunk passenger wasn’t tossed off the plane. Physically threatening an FA is usually automatic removal, frequently by cops.
The whole incident is truly strange.
Roids.
Clearly we need more information here before we make a judgment.
“That might explain the crying, but not why she expected to be able to keep the stroller.”

An attendant told her she could put in the overhead storage if it fit when it was collapsed. Then the pudgy poof came along and decided to have at it with the woman instead.
American Airlines also issued the following statement to NBC Bay Area late Friday:
We have seen the video and have already started an investigation to obtain the facts. What we see on this video does not reflect our values or how we care for our customers. We are deeply sorry for the pain we have caused this passenger and her family and to any other customers affected by the incident. We are making sure all of her family’s needs are being met while she is in our care. After electing to take another flight, we are taking special care of her and her family and upgrading them to first class for the remainder of their international trip. The actions of our team member captured here do not appear to reflect patience or empathy, two values necessary for customer care. In short, we are disappointed by these actions. The American team member has been removed from duty while we immediately investigate this incident.
I’m old enough to remember when even people riding a bus were expected to be polite and civil to one another.
You know life is pretty darn good for folks who think they are immune to following the rules.
Another posting different source if
anyone is cares to scan thru it.

All due to the environment of mistreatment of passengers that started after 9/11.
We now tolerate grandmas and little babies being groped and fondled.
