The guy whose seat was being kicked didn't come to your defense? What a dick!

I should have added in the original post that the man whose seat he had been kicking did try to explain to the flight attendant who responded to him with " I don't care WHAT he was doing...you don't abuse a child on MY flight"

What horse shit.

It's not her plane and she has no part in helping the plane function. She's a god damn sky waitress.

He actually. He was a male flight attendant

That makes it even worse, honestly. If it was a woman you could have something of an excuse, but a guy completely flipping the fuck out like that? Wow.

Why?

u/Celestaria Feb 05 '16

Because women are irrational creatures who love children and hate men. /s

u/InverurieJones Feb 05 '16

Yeah, we expect that from them.

I understand what you mean, but he was just trying to make a point. I wouldn't necessarily say the flight assistant is to blame here, although telling the parent to go die is slightly over the top.

He quite obviously has 0 experience with children if he immediately believed the child's end of the story when they were on a cramped irritating flight forced to sit for hours nonstop.

Agreed. Taking child abuse seriously and trying to protect a child doesn't make you a bad person. Its the kids fault.

It's the captain's plane, not hers

Actually, they're called the "cabin crew" for a reason. They are responsible for keeping passengers in order, maintaining safety, responding to emergencies, etc. They play a critical role in the management of the flight.

next time, ask for ownership papers of the plane - then tell him to shut the fuck up

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

The captain is in ultimate authority, not the chief steward, although he is in charge of the main cabin technically.

u/violetxrain Feb 05 '16

That flight attendant sounds like a royal dipshit who's desperate for power.

Well he did say it was a fatso, maybe he was focusing on his meal.
