So this happened the other day.
An American Airlines employee allegedly took a stroller from a woman boarding Flight 591 from San Francisco to Dallas on Friday, and knocked her with it while she held a baby in her arms. The video covering this has been going viral on Facebook. The recording does not capture the alleged stroller incident, instead with a woman holding a baby and sobbing.

Another male passenger then appears to her defense saying, “What’s the guy’s name that did that with the stroller?” An employee comes into the frame and the male passenger says, “You do that to me and I’ll knock you flat.” The two men approach each other, fingers jabbing. The employee repeats, “Hit me,” and the passenger says, “I’ll knock you out.” The captain pulls the employee away.


HOW DOES THE AIRLINE RESPOND?

HIS IS BRILLIANT CRISIS MANAGEMENT DUE TO BELOW REASONS;
- They informed everyone that they are aware of the issue and are taking immediate action.
- They give a clear message saying ‘What they see on the video does not reflect their views’.
- They release the statement to media as opposed to letting that ad momentum on social media.
- They ensure that ABC news includes their statement in their reporting from the beginning.
- The airline adds that the woman and her family have been upgraded to first class for the remainder of their international trip.
Job well done American Airlines crisis management team!
