United Flight baby swap - wdyt?

what do you think....


mom daughter and twin 15 month olds board. Mom is in first, daughter is in .....with two kids ---- he look at that, they boat seats and I child seats!


Half way through flight mom brings one to gma and stands in isle with other?

i wasn't bothered until they both started to cry......in unison. shouldn't the flight attendant have asked her to go back? don't mind the baby with gma, but the extra person and baby fussing in the isle almost sent me over

Looks like time to stop typing on a "smart" phone or iPad and use a real keyboard. This is almost indecipherable.

What I think is that people from coach shouldn't be in the first class cabin for more than a few seconds. Dropping off a report or a memory stick to a colleague (or a baby to a grandmother) is fine but it should be a very brief exercise.
Yes, I do think that the FA should have done something. Unfortunately FAs don't typically seem to deal with this type of issue.

This conjures up lots of interesting images. There's a bit of Robinson Crusoe here, perhaps, with some WW1 trench action thrown in for good measure. Or maybe they were flying over Hawaii and the OP wanted to jump?

This sure beats yet another post about Codbua - or perhaps it is one in code.

The daughter and 2 babies had no business in the front cabin.
The FA should have sent them packing.

There is a reasonable expectation of peace and quiet in the First Class.

When I read the title, I thought it was a baby mix-up. The incoherence of the post still has me wondering. Were the kids crying or was it the grandmother and the OP??
