63. you just don't get it, do you?
you don't get to scream thru an airliner security announcement, it is not a question of how old you are, no one of ANY age gets to "babble" through the safety announcement, and no doubt the person who can't control their noise always has a good reason (psychotic break, incipient alzheimers, who knows?) but the aircraft should not take off if there are persons aboard who can't comply w. the safety regulations because in event of a true emergency this person will still be out of control greatly increasing the threat to EVERYONE on board

this mom thinks her brat is special and doesn't have to follow the rules we ALL have to follow, she was properly removed from the flight

it is as simple or complex as that

how swell for you that on your southwest flight you were able to move away from the screaming baby and force someone else to listen to the screams, that's really a little bit special too, isn't it?

if the child is not of an age, if the adult is not of an age, where they can keep from "vocalizing" during a safety announcement, imagine the joy and chaos they'll create during an actual emergency, sorry, the flight attendant is there for the safety of all

screaming in movies and restaurants is rude or at best a police matter if the screaming person won't stop and the screaming person's guardian won't take action but on an airplane, it's a SAFETY MATTER

shocked that people simply refuse to get it, their convenience trumps MY safety um don't think so
