Sounds like the stewardess took it upon herself to decide the mom needed a blanket.

thats crazy! i hope that flight attendent was fired. i like the idea of a "nurse-in" for a protest though. ;)

hmmm, that's interesting that they said they offere to let her back on.
I'd hope they did (atleast that would signify that SOMONE on that plane had half a brain)

I don't like that they say they "disceplined" the stewardess though - seems to me that that indicates it was just that... a discepline... not a firing (which she deserved, 100%)

WOW! That's so not okay! Whatever the "discipline" was it should have been more than just a "discipline". I agree that she sould have been fired. But if she wasn't, I can think of something that would be worse for her. Since she seems to have an aversion to nursing she should have to sit and watch moms nurse their kids for 40 or so hours and take multiple classes on breastfeeding so she has to LEARN how natural it is; that women have the right to nurse in public; and that it is by far the healthiest option for momma and baby! Maybe that would reprogram her brain! :D

I think if the did fire her they aren't really allowed to say because it could interfere with her getting a job somewhere else which could be considered slander if she chose to sue.
