Fasten your seatbelt!

1) Remove woman from plane w/ (now) screaming baby who has been woken up. 2) Call Child Protective Services.
3) Get child a better, more intelligent mother who will look after his or her safety.

I always get ticked off when people unfasten their seatbelts right after the announcement that they are to remain fastened until the plane comes to a stop. Come on people, you heard it - why are you blatantly disregarding it? It shouldn't really upset me that much but it does.

I'm guessing that lady had never flown an Air New Zealand flight - those pilots land Hard.
Shouldn't babies be awake during landings so they can clear their ears better?

Nah, the pilot could have come over the PA, "Ladies and Gentleman, I'm very sorry, but I'm afraid we're going to have to readjust our altitude back to cruising height and re-enter the landing queue until the cabin crew notifies me that we are safe to land with all passengers, including infants and toddlers, safely buckled in."

That right there tells everyone on the plane who is responsible, and it empowers you and the crew to have a newfound 'power' over when the plane lands.

Why do people think my irrational hatered of women customers is.... irrational....
Look at the evidence!!!

So... there's less evidence for male customers being as sucky? Don't pick and choose your evidence, hon.

Oh, I like that one!!!!!! Too bad I'm not a pilot. I would so totally say that!!!!!!!!

[MadRocketScientist]

What I never get is "Why bother?". It's not like you can do anything until the plane stops and the doors open. The seatbelt is going to be in your lap until you can stand up, so what is the point of taking it off early?

hey most of the storys i've read on here involve sucky women customers.

"Well, my baby is now a pile of mush. But at least he didn't wake up!"

[Crow The Robot]

God what a dimwit, you should call CPS or whatever you have in Britain if you can get her name because refusing to buckle up your kid on a plane is dangerous, to say the least.
