The last thing AA would need is a media storm of "flight takes off without woman and her two children."
But I agree she sounds like a real pain in the a...s and I am glad that she got booed when she boarded.
The scene only started when boarding was almost complete. There never was any problem before boarding or before the tantrum escalated. The "sick child" claim only started as we were minutes before leaving the gate.
