I'm appalled at how many of you were cheering AirTran on for their
behavior. I'm a father of three typically well behaved children.

Perhaps most of you prefer not to remember, but kids have energy: LOTS
of energy. Yes, my kids do sit still on aircraft. I've taught them
very well how to behave in airports and on board an airplane. They also
have practice from long road trips. They've done well --even my three
year old.


The parents had a few minutes. They also were given a refund, a free flight
the next day, and free round-trip tickets to anywhere the airline goes. And
still the father acts like a spoiled brat who believes that everyone else
should wait on him. Well, you see where the daughter gets it from.

Heck, you get all that for a 3 year old's tantrum, flying my grandkids to
Orlando might be profitable... :-)

Don't forget the part where he told the gate attendent she should stop
talking now. She should have said, no, I'm just getting started.

Good Gawd no. Mine are teen agers. The passengers and crew might
handel it well, but I don't know if I could. :-))
