Southwest apologizes to mom on Calif. flight

SAN JOSE, Calif. — A spokesman for Southwest Airlines says the carrier has apologized to a mother who was kicked off a plane along with her unruly 2-year-old earlier this week.
Spokesman Chris Mainz said the airline called Pamela Root on Friday to apologize. He says Root also will receive a refund and a $300 travel voucher.
The crew bounced Root and her son Adam off the San Jose-bound flight because passengers could not hear preflight safety announcements.
Root says she was confident Adam's screams of "Go! Plane! Go!" and "I want Daddy!" would subside after the plane took off Monday in Amarillo, Texas.
The 38-year-old mom said she hoped to be compensated for the portable crib and diapers she had to buy for the extra night away from home.

I don't know who you think you are kidding,Mr. Tough Guy. If you got awarded custody of a 2 year old, your heart would melt into one big pool of butter. You would have been outraged at the nerve of the flight attendant.

You underestimate how much i dislike children. I'd try and sell it at the terminal to some saudi family.

Pooh. Your toddler would be sharply critical of the travel outfits viewed and you would be beaming.

That i could handle. The screeching, ill behaved nonsense this woman is peddling as "adorable" is not.

Look at her, with her crimped 80's pharmacy store dye job. She thinks her little weasel is just the cutest thing. SHe needs to go back to parenting class.

That, or die. Either one would suit me. Her spawn can be shipped to Bostwana.

Exactly. Guys like Grimm can't stay away from heathens once they're in the same room.

You're just a big softie under that tough exterior.

And with that one comment you have just marked yourself out as a child-magnet. I've noticed that kids are like cats - the more you dislike them, the more they are determined to climb all over you.

Love the comments in this thread

Someone send Grimm a kid for a week so we can see what happens

Attention all airline CEOs: I will pay DOUBLE the fare if you provide No Kiddies flights and put them instead on Air Adorable with their twat-tastic mothers.

^^Me too. It's torturous to have sit for hours on end on a flight with a kid screaming so loud that the only thing to rival it would be the sound of a jet engine taking off right in your ear. Not to mention the kids zombie parents just sitting there and doing nothing as if butter wouldn't melt in little Bratley's mouth. It's infuriating.

Can we broaden this to ANY form of public, mass transport? And include, unsupervised under 18's in the exclusion zone too? That would make my daily four-hour commute more bearable...
