Summary
Monique Harris caught a baby as the child began slipping from a sleeping mother's lap on United flight 3486 from Newark to Grand Rapids.
Passenger John Frehse said Harris then took the baby so the exhausted mother could keep resting, calling the flight attendant an “A+ employee” in an Instagram post.
A photo shared by Frehse appeared to show Harris holding the baby aboard the aircraft, and he tagged United CEO Scott Kirby after saying he had flown more than 2 million miles with the airline.
Harris said in the comments that she was “in tears” over the attention and had not expected “being my normal natural self” to become such a widely praised moment.
Republic Airways, which operates flights for United, and United itself both praised Harris after the post spread online, calling her an extraordinary colleague.
