Re: OTT on the airlines part me thinks.
Had a similar thing happen to me a couple of years back with BMI, they told me I could not use my car seat on the plane because it was rear racing even though I had purchased a ticket for my daughter. When I asked to speak to a supervisior she was very defensive and kept telling me to lower my voice even though I do not think I was shouting personally I think she was pissed because I asked to how my daughter was safer being held on my lap totally unrestrained verses being fastened in a car seat... she never did give me a real answer.

Re: OTT on the airlines part me thinks.
First trip we ever took her on (she was 3 months old) we did not get her, her own seat that was on a United flight we were given a 'belly belt' for take off/ landing and any time the seat belt sign was lit.
On that trip were she was unrestrained I had paid for her a ticket on 3 flights each way. I used her car seat no probs on both of the United flights on the heathrow to teeside BMI flight I was told that her car seat and belly belts were unsafe. It was 2 years ago so unless something has changed that is BMI's rule.
In all fairness I made a complaint and did get a refund for the BMI portion of the flight.

I read this earlier, has me scratching my head.

I know if I were on the plane I would rather have a happy kid saying 'bye bye plane' then screaming and crying.

Re: OTT on the airlines part me thinks.
It does sound like the flight attendant behaved awfully but then whoever wrote the story appeared to only talk to the passenger and not, it would seem anyone else on the flight (inlcuding the attendant), bar the stock response they got from the airline

Didn't they quote another passenger/witness too?
