Bladders know no rules?

Obviously, this pup need his bladder removed.

Cripe, the kid had to go potty, big deal. Why not let the kid go? Are flight attendants the new prison guards these days? Was the kid brandishing a box cutter...good lord! 🙄

Hey you guys were kids once. If you have kids I hope you're nice to them. Remember, they get to pick the nursing home....

Later,

Yeah, I have to agree. Let the kid go pee-pee. Unless the plane is pitching and rolling.

I've run into a few f/a's that are just natzi's about the seat belt sign. Not with US but the "other airlines". Little planes come to mind. I have witnessed while non-reving f/a's telling people, adults mind you, to "just go" and giving them a blanket to "go" on. Absurd huh? Needless to say, they were furious.

That was really what that lady was writing about.

Folks, there is a reason this chick is stuck writing for a no-wheres-ville Michigan rag and she just demonstrated why.

This is probably the most national coverage she's ever received.

Okay to vent but don't waste brain cells on this goofy broad.

Could be worse -- how'd you like to be her kids?

What the lady was really writing about is the philosophy (which you and she obviously share) that has developed in this country that "whatever I want to do is my Constitutional right to do."

Now first, it is technically illegal for the pilot to land the a/c if there are passengers out of their seats. Obviously, you and she can't be bothered with suggesting to your child at the appropriate time, "Let's go potty" which is your responsibility as a parent. AND, you decide to ignore the captain's suggestion from 20 minutes ago, "Ladies and Gentleman, we are beginning our descent into Podunk. In a few minutes the seatbelt sign will be coming on. If you want to make a trip to the lav or stretch your legs, now would be a good time." So, because junior runs the show, shall I tell the captain to go around because you didn't want to do your job as a parent? Well, I'm not going to, because then I would have to listen to you b*tch about missing your connection due to the go around "which happens every time I fly this crappy airline."

After the seatbelt sign comes on--and yes, there is an FAR that states that passengers must remain seated with their seatbelts fastened if the sign is on--you think that now would be a good time for junior to go potty. You deserve for child neglect charges to be brought against you if the brat gets injured. There is quite often unexpected turbulence as the a/c descends through different air layers.

The Federal Air Regulation does not say for you to remain seated when the seatbelt sign is on "unless you think of some reason you want to get up."
