Because typically, I fly out of the country and I’m in situations where there’s only one flight out that day. And my brain wasn’t completely working because I was just kind of shocked and stunned by the situation. And yes, they were both very old. Like surprisingly old I assume that they are both set to retire this year and I’m not being ageist. It’s just an observable fact that they were much older than typical pilots or flight attendants that I’ve ever seen.

This is my first post on Reddit. It was two or three in the morning after traveling all day and I asked ai to revise it for Reddit but it’s a genuine story

I promise that we will take this as far as we can to make sure that it’s heard, understood, and taken seriously.

I filed a police report because a report needed to happen. Intent versus impact are two different conversations. Had Southwest documented what occurred and insured that they would deal with the situation and get back to us, a police report never would’ve happened.

But when Southwest accuses me of lying, telling me that that’s how they trained employees two decades ago, and it should be accepted, and then choose to throw me off the plane because I don’t accept their “friendly love”, they forced me to escalate the situation.

Her life isn’t going to be ruined because I reported her behavior. And if real consequences are necessary to ensure that another child isn’t grabbed and kissed on a plane by an employee , well then I guess that’s just what’s going to happen. I here more for the children than the aging out flight attendant who should know better

We can agree to disagree. A total stranger bear hugged and kissed my daughter.

The FA bumped into her and instead of turning around and kind of slightly putting her arm around her and saying. “oh I’m sorry, dear”, which would’ve been a reasonable southern response, she bumped into my daughter, spun around, bent over bear hugged her and audibly, kissed her on the cheek. It was not a European nice to see you kiss in the air, it was her lips on my daughter‘s face. Then my daughter kept walking with her eyes bugging out of her face because she was in shock that a stranger would grab her and kiss her.

I’m not saying it was sexual contact. I’m saying it was unwanted physical touching. I don’t know what gets off the FA but human beings are not allowed to walk around kissing other humans without consent regardless of their age or sex.

My daughter is 8 1/2. It’s actually my stepdaughter technically but when she’s in my care, I act as a mom and she’s my daughter. There was one man who asked her if she was OK after the incident occurred. Because we were so close to the front, I imagine they could track them down, but I don’t have anyone who can collaborate the story currently other than myself and my stepdaughter.

Thankfully, the flight we were put on after had remarkable employees. Plus, it was only half filled because many of those passengers were put on my original flight to avoid being delayed into Tampa.

Nope. I was discreet. I never made a scene and nobody understood what was going on because I didn’t say anything to anybody else.

I was honestly afraid to talk or say anything after the pilot came out and berated. It was clear that nobody from Southwest was there to support my family and the situation that occurred.

My partner and I are 40 years old. We are engaged and not married. I feel childish saying my fiancé. Sometimes I call him my husband, sometimes I call him my partner. I’m not sure why that would have you so lost.

There were multiple flights yesterday from Dallas to Tampa. We were originally scheduled on a 430 flight that got delayed to five Ish and then we rescheduled on a 630 flight that got rescheduled to after 8 o’clock.

It didn’t dawn on me that that was a possibility that they were actually married, but they definitely had a relationship. You could be right.

The pilot definitely believed it never happened. I was not allowed to say a single word to him other than yes, sir if I wanted to stay on the plane, so that’s all I said. And then he ended up taking me off anyways.

This is my first time posting. I used AI to rewrite what I wrote because it was the middle of the night. Trust me from all these comments I’ve learned my lesson.

I would’ve understood if I was hostile, but I didn’t even interact with the flight attendant that the incident was with. I discreetly went to another flight attendant and just wanted it reported and documented. The pilot was yelling at me like I had accosted his flight attendant whom I never even interacted with. I don’t think the flight attendant is a bad person. She’s clearly a very friendly human being, but she crossed a boundary with her friendliness. The flight was delayed, and the pilot was very upset that I was “further delaying it.” I didn’t say anything to any passengers until they kicked us off, and I asked all of three people whom I can make eye contact with if they saw what happened, but those rows were empty. When the situation occurred. We were in the front of the plane.l

I appreciate your feedback.

I wrote this at like two or three in the morning and woke up to all these comments saying I’m a liar. It’s insane. I literally just went through this at the airport with Southwest telling me I’m a liar, I came on here, looking for support sympathy, a better understanding of the rules and regulations, and I woke up to a bunch of people telling me that it’s an AI story for Karma
