I don't like the five minutes of hate either. And the over abundance of out-of-context filming going on everywhere.

But I do care that a woman was hit by a stroller and that a baby was almost hit. Mr. Flight Attendant is an employee, not police officer, and has no right to assault anyone.

What upsets me, and everyone else if they spent a minute to think about it, is that flying (among many other things we do) has become a throughly unpleasant.

Flight crews are increadily underpaid, over worked and under extreme stress. If they don't close that gate on time they'll miss departure, have to wait in cue several minutes and cost their company thousands in fuel.

So they're stressed, annoyed, view us a cattle (which we are) and will lay their hands on woman with babies.

It's not the flight attendants fault. It's American Airlines' fault.
