I've read and heard a lot of complaints regarding airlines but this one leaves me with quite a few questions as to its authenticity. Maurizio, you stated that the first flight attendant (a female) you dealt with was immediately "aggressive, abusive, and hostile." Those words would seem to describe some kind of physical attack or at least a very confrontational verbal assault. The second flight attendant (a male) then "assaulted" you and came at you in a "combative" manner and used "aggressive" hand gestures. This definitely seems to describe a physical altercation. After that, a supervisor got involved and "united" with the others to "engage in abusive and malicious behavior" towards you and "unlawfully harass" you for "over an hour." What you have described sounds like an attack that would have required hospitalization afterwards.

We have all dealt with rude or unprofessional airline staff or we wouldn't be on this site. However, how is anyone to possibly believe that all of these airline employees, whose sole job it is to provide good customer service to paying customers, would all independently decide to single you out and then conduct a totally unprovoked violent attack against you in the fashion that you have described? From my experience, most people who are flight attendants tend to be service oriented people and the men who take this job aren't exactly what I'd call the aggressive or physical type. I have to ask, were you really scared that the female stewardess was going to hurt you? "Maurizio" that is a man's name right?

Are your descriptions of what happened really accurate? Just a shot in the dark here but have you ever been diagnosed with NPD? Narcissists are characterized as having a sense of entitlement or an unreasonable expectation of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance from others. They also have a grandiose sense of self importance without any commensurate achievements to justify it. Is it possible that you may have caused this whole situation because you just couldn't handle being told to wait or because your demands were not immediately met? I don't often see people with children "removed" from airplanes against their will at the whim of an angry mob of airline employees. It just wouldn't be good business. Is it possible that you were the one actually acting in an aggressive manner and that is the reason why the female stewardess had to tell you to "back off"? Is it possible that your actions caused a disruption onboard the plane and that's why you were asked to disembark?

I'm not an airline sympathizer but I also don't blindly buy into exaggerated stories. Please shed some light? If all this was in fact true, did you file a police report? Have you followed up with your claims? Did you meet with this other passenger and download this vide to You Tube? Has your son received any treatment for the trauma you said he experienced? Have you sought treatment for the stress and anxiety you said you were suffering from? Have you been able to fly again or do you still have serious concerns about doing so?

If I am wrong please accept my apologies.
