The problem was with the kids parents! F/A’s should have been called to remedy the issue, not take it upon yourself to educate, discipline or speak to other peoples kids. Mama and Papa Bear will get very defensive and I can’t blame them for that.

Probably should all take the rhetoric down a notch. I’m more concerned with the angry, self entitled attitude of the general flying public. It seems, at least to me that people today have a very low anger threshold when it comes to getting their own way or dealing with change? Yelling or banging on a departure gate counter doesn't win points with the airline but people try because they been told the “squeaky wheel gets the grease”. These are the former kids who fell to the floor and screaming no, these are now the adults who (aided by alcohol) become the obnoxious, onerous self entitled demanding passengers who inflict their sarcasm on others? These attitudes are the product of a poorly mannered upbringing which in older times would have been handled quickly with a sharp smack across the face or ass. it’s called straighten up and fly right because there are consequences for acting up? Sorry for the long post but I’m fed up with adults acting like children or moronic thinking people who

Better idea. Require a passport fitted for a vaccination page for all international air travel and a airline logo N-95 mask (free) for all domestic flights. When the population hits 90% fully vaccinated ditch the masks. Everyone protects everyone.

Tip of the iceberg!

Yep, however the “reasonable person” is not a particular person. Rather , the Standard takes into account both the practicalities of what ordinary people do and what the courts believe they should do. I for one like to analyze both sides of an issue, then make my own up my own mind. Some decisions are easy others not so much…..this one is easy!

I doubt anyone is surprised. Having flown extensively in India, the system as a whole leaves more questions than answers?

One thing we should all agree on, there are very few available beds left in the hospitals in the vast expanse of the USA so regardless of whether one is an intellect with a high IQ or just a normal person doing the necessary mundane work that keeps the country going………..Covid 19 is a real problem. So, every person should take ALL reasonable precautions to minimize viral transmission and that includes vaccines!

Actually, that’s exactly what happens. You go to the “medical facility” with one thing and come down with three other issues. That’s a choice you made. You have no choice when you board a flight with your unvaccinated child only to be subjected to the idiocies of those you could but won’t. If you had seen the hordes of drunken idiots, the unwashed, the self entitled, the morons that clip their toenails, the spoiled adults that forced crews to land immediately….jail is too good for them! Sorry I missed the point about your vaccine…….you refused it and it went down the sink because?

Sorry Sparkie, I agree only to the point where a persons’ medical history is off limits for most things. However, when that medical history impacts the travelling public the service provider has an obligation to protect it’s customers from a known danger. United just has to be clear about its employment requirements. Just my opinion.

I’m guessing that a Vr of 150 mph the tail contacted the runway for about 3/4 of a second. The aircraft would be travelling at about 65 metre per second at that speed.
