An American Airlines attendant has been suspended after smacking a mother with a baby stroller onboard a domestic flight Friday afternoon, according to passengers.

The woman had just boarded a 2:18 p.m. flight from San Francisco to Dallas when the shocking incident occurred.

A video posted to Facebook by Surian Adyanthaya caught the tumultuous aftermath.

“OMG! AA Flight attendant violently took a stroller from a lady with her baby on my flight, hitting her and just missing the baby,” Adyanthaya captioned the video.

The footage doesn’t catch the moment when the flight attendant allegedly struck the woman, but the atmosphere in the cabin gets tense as a man steps in to defend her.

“Hey bud, you do that to me and I’ll knock you flat,” the man says to the attendant as the distraught woman stands to the side clutching her baby, with tears streaming down her face.

“You stay out of this,” the attendant fires back.

The man then takes a step forward and the attendant immediately turns confrontational.

“Hit me, c’mon, bring it on!” the attendant shouts.

Of course, this was expressed as an opinion and there is no damage, so it is all rather moot.

Good luck in passing this off as merely an opinion => "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."

As for 'no damage', you called him a drunk in a public forum. It's not up to you to determine whether there are damages or not. That would be for civil court.

Agreed.

Thanks, Louie.

Of course I don’t think it was correct for the FA to hit her

*************************

Let's not be too quick about that. Who does she think she is? A paying passenger with two babies? Please.

>> “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.”<<

It’s an opinion - “clearly.”

As for damages, much less finding me — good luck dude.

Internet anonymity. Another widely held myth.

Amazing the number of illiterate people on this forum. Guess they no longer teach vocabulary usage/meanings in school.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep. In my particular case it did.

[2nd amendment mama]

I don’t know what her problem was, but the crying was an inappropriate reaction for sure. I kept thinking how she wasn’t being much of a role model for her children.

Let me get this straight.
1. You state that you "don't know what her problem was"
2. You then state that "the crying was an inappropriate reaction for sure"
3. You then make the determination "she wasn’t being much of a role model for her children

Just wow, make a determination that she's a lousy, crying mother without knowing what her problem was. What an incredible degree of arrogance you have displayed.

I don’t know what her problem was, but the crying was an inappropriate reaction for sure.

Try reading the headline for a clue.

[Chgogal]

Not to mention the airlines increasing the number of rows on airplanes to the point when the passenge in front pushes back his/her seat, their face lands on your chest. And we put up with that! Shame on us!

[Chgogal]

At last a woman with experience speaks. The FA should be fired.

[mom of young patriots]

“Just wow, make a determination that she’s a lousy, crying mother without knowing what her problem was.”

You didn’t read what I wrote, because I didn’t say that at all. You are looking for a fight. Take it elsewhere.

[Chgogal]

That is the airlines fault. They added how many rows to a plane in the past two decades? That and the TSA policy are reasons I do not fly.

[2nd amendment mama]

Excuse me. After stating that you didn't know what her problem was, you then stated that her crying wasn't appropriate and then stated that she wasn’t being much of a role model for her children". So, just what did I get wrong? Your words, not mine.

[mom of young patriots]

We could have a friendly debate over this, but I don’t sense that is what you want. You are attacking me and I have no interest in sparring.

[dhs12345]

“We have no choice.” We no longer have any rights and are treated as such. So shut and be quiet or you’ll be taken to the back room and be given the strip search treatment. Or worse, we will do the same to your 5 year old daughter.

[2nd amendment mama]

Not attacking at all. Just don’t know why you posted accusingly towards this woman while admitting that “you didn’t know why she was upset”. I truly get annoyed with people who don’t read the title or article and jump in uninformed. How can you say that you want to “have a friendly debate over this” when you, by your own admission, haven’t researched the facts.
