I hate greedy people like this, and the ambulance chasing attorneys that sniff them out.
VIRGIN Blue has sacked a male flight attendant and offered an angry mother free flights after her toddler was put in an overhead locker. Natalie Williamson claims she, her 17-month-old son, Riley, and her now estranged husband were on a Virgin flight from Fiji to Sydney, when the flight attendant picked up Riley, placed him in the locker and closed the latch.
Virgin has admitted an incident did take place, but claims Ms Williamson's husband was playing a peek-a-boo game with Riley involving the overhead compartment when the flight attendant joined in.
"We conducted a thorough investigation of the incident and the staff member involved was subsequently terminated," a Virgin spokeswoman said.
The airline offered Ms Williamson three free flights, but the mother has said she is too shaken by the mid-air experience to redeem them.
"My husband, Shayne, was standing one metre behind my son, Riley, when the air steward picked him up and placed him in the overhead compartment," she said.
"I stood up and there were people laughing and then I said 'Get my son out of there now'," she told the Sunday Herald Sun.
"I was devastated. I was absolutely devastated.
"I was crying. My husband was in shock. For days on end I was crying."
Ms Williamson said Riley was locked in the compartment for up to 10 seconds in complete darkness.http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/overheard-locker-tot-outrage/story-e6frf7kx-1226016403074 (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/overheard-locker-tot-outrage/story-e6frf7kx-1226016403074)

Me too, it sounded like the head attendant just wanted the guy fired, but this gold digger thinks she can milk the airlines over it.
and the sad part is,,,,she will probably get it to.....
oh how many times I've wanted too shove a kid into the overhead.

Playing Peek-a-Boo is a dangerous game by todays standards of lib PC.
Can you imagine the trauma that would have been suffered had he played "Got your Nose"?
We need to outlaw Piggyback Rides, someone could really get hurt...

We have a new law along the lines of Sarah's Law and Megan's Law; it's called Stinky's Law, after young Gerald "Stinky Jerry" Dinkledine. Stinky Jerry is the last unfortunate Ohio child who is known to have engaged in an unsupervised round of "Pull My Finger" with an elderly man who claimed to be Stinky Jerry's grandfather.
And youse guys thought I made stuff up....

Ca has their own Stinky's Law, but it involves septic tanks.
You know, the thing that stinks no matter what you do to it?
Well the libs want a new system that will cost the home owner an additional 20 thousand dollars at a minimum.
Now thats a Stinky Law. :'(
