    American Airlines flight attendant 'whacks a mother in the head with a metal stroller while she holds her twin babies and reduces her to tears' - then is filmed challenging a passenger to a FIGHT and yelling 'hit me!'

    An American Airlines flight attendant has been removed from duty after a shocking video emerged showing him challenging a passenger to a fight after allegedly hitting a woman in the head with a metal stroller during boarding.

    The upsetting footage, filmed before Flight 591 departed from San Francisco on Friday afternoon, shows the airline staff member goading a passenger and saying, 'hit me'.

    Adyanthaya went on to explain: 'They just involuntarily escorted the mother and her kids off the flight and let the flight attendant back on, who tried to fight other passengers. The mom asked for an apology and the AA official declined.'

    Others on board were clearly disturbed by the incident. One male passenger (left) got up and made his feelings known

    Olivia Morgan, who was standing in the door to the cabin with her eight-year-old daughter when the incident occurred, said the woman had been looking for a space to put the collapsible stroller.

    A female flight attendant had given her permission to look for a storage space as it folds up small, but said she would have to check it in if there was no room.

    The American Airlines website says small, collapsible strollers can be checked at the gate. There is no specific rule about not putting them in overhead bins.

    'She was looking for space when the male attendant tried to take it away from her... and she said she told him the other attendant had told her it was okay to look,' Morgan said.

    But that wasn't good enough for the man, she said.

    'The flight attendant wrestled the stroller away from the woman, who was sobbing, holding one baby with the second baby in a car seat on the ground next to her,' Morgan said.

    The woman can be seen sobbing and asks staff members to get her stroller back. Witnesses said the attendant struck her with the metal stroller as he was dragging it out of her hands.

    At this point, other passengers are heard expressing their disgust at the situation.

    One says he's 'not going to sit here and watch this...' and then gets up and walks to the front of the plane to confront flight attendants.

    The man asks for the name of the employee who is alleged to have hit the crying woman.


    The male passenger who intervened confronts the uniformed employee. 'You do that to me and I'll knock you flat,' the man says. That's when the employee retorts: 'Try it. Hit me'

These passengers are unaware that once you purchase that ticket, you are under the thumb of the employees. But clearly this "flight attendant" was out of line and needs some serious discipline. ;)

Unless it is over 1,000 miles distance, I refuse to fly.

I know people who will drive the distance of the entire country because they refuse to be subjected to the shit they have to undergo JUST TO GET ON THE PLANE, let alone be a captured prisoner at the mercy of some crazy liberal shit head with an agenda and on a power trip.

That is good. Nader gave them pause to think, and took it straight to Supreme Court. That will teach them. ;)

I am probably on the "no fly" list anyway.

But I drove the big truck all over and have been in most of the lower 48 states. ;)

LoL

I usually get the 'TSA Pass' that allows you to bypass a lot of the crap while getting into the airport to the plane.

Last time I flew with the TSA stamp, I practically got a full body cavity search.

IOW, the stamp is worthless.
