We all know that flying with a baby who is incessantly crying can be an extremely trying situation. But, it's something that no one can control. Not the mother, not the people around and least of all a crying baby.
In a recent incident, a passenger named Susan Peirez, 53, flying with Delta Airlines in the US, crossed all lines. She threw a tantrum and screamed at a co-passenger with a cranky baby and refused to sit next to her.

Marissa Rundell, a 19-year-old mother from Rochester New York was at the receiving end of Peirez's?wrath. When the flight attendant came in to tackle the situation, Susan Peirez, who apparently was a government employee, threatened to 'fire' her.?
A cellphone video captured the heated confrontation between the Delta flight attendant and Peirez, and it went something like this:
Peirez: "I want your name."
Flight attendant: "Tabitha."
Passenger: "Thank you, Tabitha, you may not have a job tomorrow."
Flight attendant: "I want this lady off the plane."
After the footage went viral, with close to 2 million views on Facebook, Peirez was put on work leave with an official statement released by the Director of Public Information Ronni Reich.
The statement reads, ¡°State employees are and must be held to the highest standard both professionally and personally. We were notified of this situation and have commenced an investigation. This employee has been removed from the office and placed on leave until further notice and until the inquiry is resolved.¡±
