Does anyone know the outcome of the "bye bye plane" kid incident, by the way? Was it "bye bye flight attendant" or did Expressjet let their flight nazi get away with it?

Yes, the child is autistic, even though mildly so. Just Google "bye bye plane" and follow links to ABC.com and the Good Morning America interview with Diane Sawyer and the mother who brought the child with her. He obviously has attention span issues but is really a sweet kid. He says "thank you" to her co=host when he sits next to him and starts playing ball with the kid. It was genuine, too, not a prompted "thank you" from mom. From the heart. Makes you wonder had the flight attendant handled it a different way if the kid would have said "thank you" to her in that sweet angelic voice and melted her heart. I know it melted mine.
OK jim - open season on this one! HAHAHA!
PHX has gone soft 'n slobbery!
