Heard it this morning on NBC 6 in Miami this morning. A mother and her 22 month old child were kicked off a Continental regional flight because the child kept saying, "Bye Bye plane."

It appears that on Continental, you can't even use the toilet or talk while on the plane.

Wait, the kid grows pretty fast. When the story broke yesterday on ABC13, he was 18-month old. By last night, I'm reading 19. This morning, he's 22-month old now!

Amazing!

Anyways, if you want to know <b>all the news</b> about Continental in the last few months, check out this summary thread on Flyertalk that I've put together:

Seems that the fact that they had an 11 hour delay in Houston is being overlooked.

There is a thread on this in the lounge -

&quot;The Atlanta to Oklahoma City flight was just connecting at Bush Intercontinental Airport. There was a long delay, but the problems for the Georgia mother and her son didn't start until they boarded the plane.

Passenger Kate Penland recalled, &quot;He was saying, 'Bye-bye, plane.'&quot;

That's how Penland's son Garron said goodbye to a more than <u>11 hour delay</u> at the Houston airport. It happened last month on board a Continental ExpressJet plane while it taxied. The one and a half year old repeated 'bye-bye, plane' all through the flight attendant's safety speech.&quot;

They were on MSNBC today; the child is 20 months old. According to this interview, the FA told the pilot that the mom/child threatened her.

I don't imagine we've heard the end of the story....

I'll keep my opinion to myself until the whole story comes out.

Commuter flight with flight attendants that are young and inexperienced with the traveling public!

I recon all is not what it appears to be at the moment

We don't know the whole story - but I'm one of those folks who doesn't consider it child abuse to tell a child to be quiet!

This story made the news on the Sunday night ABC Network Evening News. By the way, I'm going through detox, and I have not had alcohol for six days. I only have two more pounds to loose and I will be back to my 30 inch waist.
