Do you guys have to compete with other airlines on EVERYTHING? 
All kidding aside let's look at some items here.
I think there is a lot we can take away from that.
Now here is the icing on the cake.
If Doug and company really gave a damn about our passengers they would not oversell seats on an already overcrowded (with small cramped seats) tuna can.
If Doug and company really gave a damn about the employees he would not allow stations to run with understaffed ground crews.

The crying passenger is no longer part of the story? Not true, this just out and she contacted the attorney, it's not a case that this attorney contacted her, so she is still part of the story...
Lawyer of United passenger who was dragged now represents ...
All the blather and stress of cramming the flying public, voluntarily I might add, in smaller seats pitched to make even the Little Women peevish makes me recall AA's "More Room Throughout Coach" program that the public rejected. It cost much more to market that failed venture then it did to remove and repitch seats but still the public speaks with their wallets and nothing more. The airlines are far from perfect but these supposed victim passenger incursions should'nt receive ten times the coverage of an assaulted crew member.
Well sure, but it's not like that the FA was behaving like an altar boy either.
He may have a case of keeping his job though, as somebody, perhaps several other AA employees failed in checking the stroller before the woman got to the point where the FA had to intervene.
What I'd like to know, if the eyewitness account to GMA several posts above is accurate, how that lady was allowed to get on board with not just the strollers but also the luggage she was carrying? That backpack ("bag") should have been checked, no? WTF?

Sadly she'll probably get it.
Maybe not in court, but AA will pay her off to make the story go away.
The video doesn't show the entire story (either because only a portion of the story was recorded or the video edited to fit a narrative).
But reading about the incident, it looks to me that the passenger may be used to getting her way - that is getting on board with the strollers, baggage, etc. Afterall, who wants to hassle an innocent mommy? And if she's a foreigner, doesn't surprise me that she would be used to playing games with stupid Americans.
At the same time, the FA, if he's actually grabbing / pushing and shoving / the stroller out of her hands handled the situation very poorly. The male passenger, well having just seen the FAs actions and not being aware of the entire chain of events, was correct to speak up, but should not have threatened the crew.
Don't know from the video why the captain seemed to be just standing by and not act.
and i always thought that only fscs were millionaires and tough guys.
the knight coming to her emotional rescue was surely looking to impress her and maybe get some trim. i hope aa holds firm on this, the public is behind aa on this one.
Yup. Saw that one coming. I hope other passengers come forward, tell the truth and see what happens. She may get sent packing if some of the passengers saw it differently.
