Sounds like the attendant was already confrontational.
Meth?
She should work for United.
A grown man punching a woman in the face.
Nice.
Typical arrogant airline employee.
I bet that hurt...
depends on the meaning of the word “with”
Clearly we need more information here before we make a judgment.
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.

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.

Man, I never wanna get smacked with a baby stroller. Does Mom have a license to stroll a deadly baby stroller?
Even if this was not a dry run, it is a data point now. The airline’s public response is dangerous.
One captain I flew with got on the PA and asked people to sit and get out of the aisle so he could see to back out of the gate.
As many posters have stated already, we don’t really know what transpired prior to the video being shot, but that mother definitely has a large red welt or injury on her forehead. I’m just going to throw this out there, although it’s a bit unkind. That flight attendant looks and sounds as if he is gay. I’ve been noticing more and more that the male attendants are gay, or at least effect gay mannerisms and speech. (Yes, I am stereotyping a bit here). Perhaps they are just effeminate. Why are gays always so hateful?
Commercial air travel has become torture and people are snapping. Unless its character is changed, this is just the beginning. I was on a flight where the guy in the seat behind me yelled and almost hit me because I was “moving too much” in my seat. Flight attendant had to intervene. That was several years ago.
