My landlord's daughter recently flew as a UM on US connecting in PHL and PIT. She is 14, looks like a college age woman, and dresses like a member of Future Pornstars of America (FPA). She is as naïve as a retarded child and could have been led away on a string by any number of perverts. I didn't say anything. Just mind my on beeswax.

Okay. And as a parent, you can honestly tell me
that you would allow your child to travel alone
with that type of mentality? Only an irresponsible
parent would even consider letting a child like
that travel alone.
"Okay Jimmy, I know you're only 10 years old,
but we, your parents, are going to entrust the airline
to be your temporary parents (babysitter) on a
connecting flight through PHL so you can go off to
Granny's house for the summer while your
father and I go on vacation without any
interference. We really do care about you Jimmy.
Have fun".

(Mad mother calls US to complain)
Consumer Affairs? Your employees didn't
provide the appropriate service to my son Jimmy
while he was traveling to Granny's house for
the summer so that his father and I could
shirk our parental responsibilities all summer
long. "He got lost in PHL for 8 hours, and he
walked off the plane in Atlanta without an
escort, and it took your people 2 hours to find
him. Besides that, my mother who was meeting
him in ATL had traffic problems and was 3 hours
late arriving to the airport, and your personnel
didn't bring him to the baggage claim area
like you promised. I want a refund of the
UMNR fee, and a refund of his ticket or I am
going to the media with this story".
Why didn't we limit our liability sooner is all
I have to say about that.
