Topic : 03/06 Etiquette Dilemmas

There's one more available seat on Southwest Airlines.  Shame on Kyla for acting like a child.  Shame on her lawyer for trying to extort more from Southwest Airlines than what they offered which, by the way, was a gracious apology and a generous gift of airline tickets.   In this time of heightened airline security, I applaud our flight attendants for their dedication and don't expect them to have to "police" guests attire.

 Hi everyone!

    I would just like to say that it's sad when people don't know when to let things roll off their shoulders. The women that had the child on the Flt and the Flt Attended said something to her about her child... I feel the issue is more about how the women was treated....it was defiantly not in a helpful friendly manner !! The comment about Baby Benadryl isn't that big of a deal. As a mom of 3 I have heard of that from all kinds of people, from a neighbor, a family member and doctors, most of the time it is being said to the person in a helpful manner. I wish the attitude of the Flt Attended would had been the real focus. I fly a lot, at least 10 or more times a year with 3 kids, my youngest now just 5 yrs old, second youngest 20 yrs old and my oldest 22 yrs old, I have noticed a big change in how the customer is being spoken to from the Flt Crew. It is not as Friendly as it use to be and that is ashame. I think its all in how you say something and a nice friendly face wouldn't hurt either.

  One other thing, I know for an absolute fact that United Airlines would NOT say anything to a First Class Customer for wearing shorts UNLESS they are an Employee or flying on an Employee Pass. So, I have to wonder about the man that was on the show today?? 

   I wish Dr. Phil would have had the "Other~ Side" there to tell their thought of what took place. Remember their is always two sides to a story.  

    I hope everyone has a nice evening! 

My question about the girl who wore the supposedly inappropriate outfit on the airplane is why she did not wear it on the Dr Phil show?  It was obvious that she covered not only more of her legs but also her "ample" chest.  I don't think it was a coincidence.  Personally, if she wants to put her privates that close to the seats used by hundreds of others, so be it. 

Now, about the mother with the kids that make the impolite chewing noises and such - as their mother, it is her job to teach them "proper" etiquette and table manners.  She only has herself to blame for their open mouth chewing and smacking.  She may not be able to get her adult husband to comply with her requests but as the children's mother, she should be teaching them to stop the poor manners, not because it annoys her but because it is simply bad manners in general. 

Where has common sense, decorum, and manners gone in this society?!

I do think it offensive for a waitress or waiter to call someone by an endearment such as "sweetie", "dear",

"darlin", etc.  These are terms that I would want someone close to me to say, not someone I don't know.
