American Airlines Kicks Mother, Grandmother, and Asthmatic Two-Year-Old Off of Plane Because Toddler Wouldn't Keep Mask on

by Debra Heine - September 14, 2021

 

An American Airlines flight attendant allegedly called the police, and had a two-year-old boy, his mother and his grandmother removed from a flight on Monday because the toddler would not keep a face mask on while he was having an asthma attack.  [...]

FTA the FA on the previous flight didn’t require a mask and the parent was expecting more of the same.  
 

The situation was exacerbated by delayed departure and the kid being antsy crossing the aisle between parent and grand parent, suggesting this flight was on a regional jet.  Checking a random day in the future, it seems AA runs mostly 737s but the first last flight of the day is a regional jet so that might account for why the group of three were seated across an aisle. It would have better to book a 737 and seat all three together. 
 

Unfortunately, young kids can be difficult on flights, especially delayed flights.  
 

I think FAs that insist on the letter of the rules about staying seated while the plane is in a 40 minute taxi are being ridiculous. I’m sure at least one adult passenger got up to use the lavatory.  


The mother admitted the child had never worn a mask before and would not wear a mask.  Knowing and knowing the mask rule (which I think is a stupid rule but that is beside the point) she should have made other arrangements to travel between OKC and COS.  
 

And doing this via DFW with a toddler makes little sense.  Non stop to DEN and then drive to COS.
