I'm really not defending "all passengers". But I don't like the opposite neither, with passengers blamed for not following the rules:

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to learn who that "passenger Eric" was. Because his report is fully contradicted by three other passengers (and by the mother). I will post those other reports on Monday.

Read entirely what I wrote you'll realize that I'm not blaming the passenger, I'm blaming only if the story that SN26567 is true. In the case the story of the passenger is true then I blame the flight attendant, as simple. But if you reread my post you'll see that I don't take any position about it and I was using the conditional. I'm sorry If you didn't get my post the way I wanted it to be understand.

Beside that I know you are not defending "all passengers".

No worries, but let me give a hint: the source for "Eric's report" is a former steward from... American Airlines.

Not accepted based on? Once folded and wrapped it's not even recognisable as a stroller...

Usually on not enough stowage space available to stow it safely for take off and landing.

Passenger, calling everything that doesnt fit your propaganda "fake news" is very easy ...
Mounting a witch hunt based on a video of the aftermath of an event, where the details of the actual event are barely present and if they are, sketchy and contradictive, as well ...

That would be true for any sizeable piece of hand luggage that doesn't fit under a seat. I'm asking why SN treats it different from any other piece of hand luggage, which they don't in my experience.

It's still recognizable, I see which kind of stroller you mean and I find this system very ingenious, however you know that one of the most importance thing in aviation is punctuality. For a couple of years now, passenger can buy a ticket without any luggage in the hold. Airlines are now facing a new problem, the space available in the bins which is slowing the boarding. As many passenger are now travelling with trolleys, this space is relatively quickly full and we often have to refuse cabin bag and have to put them in the hold because of lack of space. So knowing that, even if a foldable stroller doesn't take that much place, it's still take some space while it's not even used on board. We then give the priority to cabin bags.
