But we don't know if that is really the case. How many times Lewis have we seen people who read what they want to read, or hear what they want to hear, setting aside the factual information and instead going for the pixiedust option? I've seen you called a big poopyhead many times for your stance on Skybus and Spirit for instance, even when you were right.

I'm not familiar with buddy passes from JetBlue, but isn't there usually some sort of written documentation when one accepts these types of 'gifts' from people in the industry?

I tend to agree that the employee may be out of a job, but I won't be blaming him right now as we don't know what really happened. The actions or lack of action on the part of the parents is odd, however. Then again, there are people who do just sit back and wait, and take zero responsibility for themselves, and have no initiative. But when it involves a 4 year old and hunger to the point of paramedics being involved, I have to question the judgement of the parents.
