Good on you for your stand and your desire to make this a greater good for all. <br /><br />I'm a regular blogger on our Kansas City Star Mom2Mom blog, and I'd like to share your story with parents here. Keep spreading the word to a broader audience. Great things will happen. <br /><br />Peace,<br /><br />JimJim Cosgrovehttp://www.jimcosgrove.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754056775311457240.post-38882668593208735812010-09-24T10:03:35.263-04:002010-09-24T10:03:35.263-04:00I just wanted to come back and say something else ...I just wanted to come back and say something else (yes, I am thinking about this while drinking my morning coffee Delta):<br /><br />Just be prepared that if you opt not to take to compensation or to go forward with something else - you will no longer get the ms. or mr. nice guy attitudes from Delta. Once it becomes legal, it becomes business and their kindness just goes out the window.<br /><br />You might also consider providing support to the other Delta mom victim as their stance so far as been that "no one else has been treated this way." It would be nice for her case to have another person that has been treated this way. From what I understand, she is moving to have them change their policy, training, etc. and since that is already in place with her lawsuit, it might make better sense to merge with her to achieve that.<br /><br />If you could achieve policy change for a huge coorporation like Delta - consider your life well-lived.Hot Belly Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091048177310069079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754056775311457240.post-76822845470246778282010-09-24T09:25:34.734-04:002010-09-24T09:25:34.734-04:00It's their job to sound that nice.

They are trained to do that to smoothe over something that could become a bigger problem.<br /><br />It's really up to you if you feel satisfied with the results and want to let it go. No one can make that decision for you but you and your husband. What does he think? His opinion matters more than ours.<br /><br />I am a little disappointed that there is nothing in what they say to prevent this from happening again. What steps will they be taking to educate their flight staff about nursing moms? Do they fully comprehend what it takes to breastfeed and that it's not so easily cut and dry? Are they willing to bring in lactation experts to teach their staff and at least offer a sensitivity course on this matter?<br /><br />Bottom line Delta: THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED! NOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN?<br /><br />Screw compensation of one person. I want to know what is going to happen to ME if I come on their plane and nurse my baby, child, toddler, etc. Does this mean that all mothers everywhere have to be afraid? Where is the reassurance for all of the future nursing mothers that board their plane?<br /><br />So far, there is none. Even their media staff are clueless and need more training.Hot Belly Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091048177310069079noreply@blogger.com
